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.

Also, the client wants to know -Will GeoLocation values be available out of the box for the Custom Address field type, similar to how BillingLatitude & BillingLongitude is available for Standard account BillingAddress. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! How can we sign up for this next pilot? My client tried last time, but could not so I am hoping for this time if possible. Thanks!

A way around this problem would be to add a section called address but the field type is Rich Text Area. You can add a google map link of the address you want to save. That is at least a temporary fix to this issue. Thanks.

Hi all! We love and understand many of you are interested in getting involved in helping to co-desgn and co-develop the future of this much needed feature. We also know you prefer to get involved when this pilot/beta solution is in production.

Given this, for the Summer '21 release, we ended up holding a closed sandbox pilot for a small group and limited scope MVP v1.0. We will be opening up applications for nomination to the second part of our pilot for DEVELOPER PREVIEW for Winter 2021 after August 15. I'll provide another update here regarding more details for the application and selection process here in August. I wanted to update everyone with our new roadmap/release estimates:

Pilots in Summer '21 (Closed Sandbox - MVP for Admins) & Winter '22 (Dev Preview & Closed MVP for developers)
Beta in Spring '22 & Summer '22
GA in Winter '23

Thank you all for your interest and support,

--Nelle Sacknoff | Director, Product Management; Globalization

I'm glad I came here before trying to build some convoluted solution for this. How can we get in on the Pilot?

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