[#2715] How do I restore Country & State Fields?

Why on earth would you tamper with these tables?

Try installing CB 1.4 or 1.7 over existing installation and please in the future do not do anything you are not 100% certain of and make sure you take backup also first!

As it turns out, I didn't. Because I couldn't see the country and state fields used for invoicing address in user field management I thought I had deleted them, but it turns out they were never there so I didn't delete them. So my problem is, if United States is set as the default country under the tax tab, then the state drop down doesn't automatically populate. Once I removed the default field in tax tab forcing the user to select a country, then the state drop down populates.

How can I make United States the default country and still have states populate?

Where are you setting the default at? It also should not be "United States" as the invoice uses 2 letter so it should be "US". I believe you need to change the default for the input within the invoice XML file as seen below.

I can't guarantee this will work however. It maybe best to set the default for country AND default for state (to the first US state in the drop-down) to ensure display.

I had set the default in CBSubs -> Settings -> Tax -> Dafault Customer Country set at United States (once this was disabled invoice address State populated again).

I also have System Seller Country set as United States for Country and State as Georgia on the same screen.

Ah, I see you're setting Tax defaults. I've created a bug ticket regarding this issue for further review. Appears setting the default results in the jQuery not executing resulting in the State drop-down not populating.

Hooray! I'm not crazy after all!

Is there a way to do this without using tax defaults? I thought everyone had to use them if they were charging tax...
