Address Field Data not Exporting

When I export to either Heredis or My Heritage, only the data in the Place Field is exported, not including the Address Field data.
Is there a way to be able to also export the Address Field; can I for example combine the Address and Place Fields data prior to export.
Thanks

You have discovered that
GEDCOM is not as fully supported across all products as in
FH.
There are as many different dialects of
GEDCOM as there are genealogy products.
The core details are often OK, but many products omit some fields (such as
Address), and many (including
FH) have their own customisations (such as
Place records, and
Fact Witnesses, and
Media Face Frames).
That is why I wrote the
Export Gedcom File Plugin, which has specific options for each product.
It already has an option for
(HER) Heredis by BSD Concept.
Early this year I plan to add
(MYH) MyHeritage Tree as others have asked for that.
(See
Private Data is Exported via GEDCOM file (14444)).
The general strategy is to put the
Address details into some labelled
Note field text.
See plugins:help:export_gedcom_file:export_gedcom_file|> Export Gedcom File Plugin for details.
