    hi,

    can you help me understand how to use the address autocomplete widget on my jotform? I have added my google API and the address is populating, but it doesn't seem that I am able to do much with it.

    For example, am I able to include the address on my email response as a nice format? I can copy it all on another field but it is unusable.


    See below and attached.

    it comes as "Street name: KingswayNumber: 78Suburb: Beverly HillsPostcode: 2209

    but I want the address to appear as 78 Kingsway Beverly Hills 2209

    below is the form BTW if you want to see

    thank you

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Presently, it isn't possible to retrieve the value from Autocomplete Address into a specific format. Since the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers. But exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.

    OK Jessica. Unless you can do this, this widget is largely useless... tp make it more usable, we need something to pull out each field separately on the widget to make it useful to people once an address has been validated.

    maybe something like {address.postcode} and {address.street number} etc.

    At the very least, we need the string to appear as normal address similar to the normal address element.


    Thank you

    Chris
