Country Picker Widget Change Abbreviations

I'm using the Country Picker widget and can't get the settings to change to abbreviations.

Advice please?

Also, can I reorder the countries?

Hi Pam,

I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

Regarding the Country Picker widget, it does not have a built-in option to change country names to abbreviations directly within its settings. Also, reordering countries is not supported by default in this widget.

If you need to display country abbreviations or reorder the list, you might consider using custom code or alternative widgets that allow more customization.

What is the custom code to change the countries to abbreviations and remove the flag icons?

Hi Pam,

The Country Picker widget does not support changing country names to abbreviations or removing flag icons through its settings. To achieve this, you would need to use custom code embedded in your form or consider alternative widgets that allow more customization.

Unfortunately, we don't have a ready-made code snippet for this, but you might explore using custom CSS or JavaScript in your form's source code to hide flags and replace country names with abbreviations.

Hi Pam,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Country Picker widget does not have a built-in option to change country names to abbreviations directly within its settings. You can select Abbreviation option for Submission Value for Country Picker widget. Let me walk you through it:

1. Open your form in Form Builder, click on the Country Picket widget on your form, and then click on the Wand icon, located on the right side.

2. In the menu that appears on the right side of the screen, click on Whole Country Name under Submission Value, select Abbreviation, and then click on Update.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

I tried it and there was no change on the form.

Any other suggestions?

Hi Pam,

Just to confirm, are you trying to change the Country Picker widget abbreviation directly when filling out the form? If yes, it is not possible to change the list of country abbreviations directly on the form. Abbreviations will show only on the submission tables or email notifications. Here's the sample screenshot result as I cloned and tested your form:
