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.

Will this include the Google address search?

It's just really incredibly frustrating expending time working around this self inflicted schism.

Do you want to add a third address to an object that already has billing and shipping addresses?

Create several fields to make a new address that doesn't look or behave like the other two addresses.
Hide the existing addresses and create 3X the fields so the addresses all look and behave the same.

Do you want to move or copy a standard address into a managed package's address object?

Research how to parse the standard street address into the separate lines found everywhere else in Salesforce.

This would be huge help. We have an custom object that requires addresses to be entered. The address search functionality on a custom object would save end users a bit of time and greatly enhance overall user experience.

We need this functionality to include a new address field on account object.
This idea appears as in Development Satus.
@Salesforce, When can we have this ready to use?
Thank you,

We need this functionality for a custom object. This will help us reduce erroneous inputs and save lots of time from development and business end.

Hi All,

I plan to post the following each month, for those of you that may find it useful.

I appreciate that it is not everything we are asking for, but for some requirements, it fits the bill:

Try this:

Enable Field Service Lightning.
You will now see 2 new SObject types: Location and Address.
Set up a custom field on Location to point to the parent SObject of your choice (e.g. Account).
Create Location object instances as required for your [Accounts].
For each Location, create an Address object instance.
The Address SObject is a full [postal] address, with Country and State picklists!

Also, take a look at this AppExchange App: Better Address Management:

Custom Address Field 13 YEARS old... "We developed an Address related list for Contacts only, hope that helps!"

I hope it is quite straightforward why we need this. We just need to put the address on standard or custom objects. That's it. As a workaround we need to create more custom fields now and use components to use it as an address and show on the map.

13 years. Really?

Such a necessary Field. I used ACT! in the past, and the Opportunity Address is a Standard Field. Please get this up and running ASAP, it will make so many of your user lives easier.
