Or are you having trouble connecting because it's NOT, in fact, using that two-letter code? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/address-field-change-state-to-2-letter-abbreviation#post-127977 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 21:18:40 +0000 John 127977@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> For the advanced field of Address the value of States is the full word. We are trying to connect to an API for donortools.com and to match users we need to have states be the 2 letter all cap abbreviation. Is there a way to alter this State field to be 2 letter value?</p> <p>Thanks, </p>
