Meanwhile, I posted a workaround a few weeks ago: <a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/abbreviate-city-fields" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/abbreviate-city-fields</a> Carl Hancock on "State Abbreviations Output instead of Long State Name" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/state-abbreviations-output-instead-of-long-state-name#post-3501 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:36:50 +0000 Carl Hancock 3501@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I agree and we are going to look into adding this. It might even make it in the next release, which was not planned as a feature release, although no promises. Either way it will be added to a future release.

There should be a checkbox in the Gravity Forms State field to write the 2-character code into the database, rather than the long name.
