Place and Address Parts
Posted: 22 Feb 2021 12:58
Hi,
Another idea that I came across when doing auto-text was a desire to get at the specific part of a place or address (I realise people can record these in all sorts of ways).
Currently you have implemented x.SHORT and x.MEDIUM which are fine, but I was wishing to get just the county specifically in my Place/Address, which is either the 3rd or 4th part of the comma separated item. So I was wondering if you might consider a more general sub-key or even a function to obtain a specific part of the place/address (probably by index 1..n). If there was no such part then it would return an empty string or equivalent of what currently occurs for non-existent data. This approach would be generic and people could adjust in their own template if not using a common place/address form (e.g. [street, ]town, county, country).
