Add a new Standard field type: Address

Globalization

Often times Address blocks need to be added to Custom Objects are even Standard Object (often to Opportunities for example to identify precise shipping locations). The Address type already exists but Admins can't create them. Open it up! ; )

A big Thank You to everyone who has provided information in our survey. Your input is very much appreciated. We also appreciate the continued interest in this idea.

As we got underway with development, we found that we have to adjust our rollout plan with the following estimates:

Pilot in Summer '21
Beta in Winter '22
GA in Spring '22

While we continue to work on this, if we have any other significant updates, we’ll post them here. In the meantime, you can learn more about Prioritization and how you can continue to shape Salesforce products at https://ideas.salesforce.com/s/about.

The Location object doesn't have an Address field... This feature would help to work around this issue.

Another reason why this is really needed is because if I try to make address a text field on the quote, I can't use that field in a 2 column table on the quote because each column can only print ~39 characters -- so the half of the address usually gets cut off. This issue can be resovled if admin were able to create address fields.

I created an apex script to accomplish this for now, until this idea is implemented. You can find out more details here: https://dancinllama.github.io/salesforce/Custom-State-And-Country-Picklist/

(Perhaps sometime by 2050 we will also have the ability to click Edit and Delete on the Ideas exchange, so we don't have to double-post just to fix typos. LOL)

@Teresa Marshall ...and for god's sake, add an APT NUMBER field!! (Also: Extension Number field for Contact / Phone fields, while you're at it!) How has Salesforce existed for 20+ years without this??? Mind-blowing. There is still no way to enter business landline extensions or apt #'s as part of standard Phone or Address field. If you put the extension or apt # as part of the phone or address field, then use a maps API like Google Maps or SmartyStreets for address formatting and data hygiene, it wipes out all the apt #'s! And if you create a separate custom "Apt No" field, then it doesn't display as part of the concatenated Address field on reports and contact / account records! How in the world is anyone supposed to properly enter addresses in Salesforce without a distinct Apt / Unit number fields as part of the Address object?? Same goes for phone extensions. C'mon, Salesforce!! #CRMBasics101.

In the meantime, would it be possible to add "Physical Address" or "Located At" to the Account & Contact objects? The current addresses imply "mailing" addresses, and the "physical" address may not be the same. This would also make sense to be on Assets. The Location object appears to be more of a region than an actual, physical address - though it does have driving directions and Geolocation, it seems like having a "Physical Address" on it and then allowing for a Parent lookup to Account, Asset, Contact would also be great - since you can have a Parent Location (hierarchy) - that opens up other possibilites as well...
