Any way to turn off autocomplete for STATE and COUNTRY to have just text fields?

[Anonymous]

Have not had any live events with RSVP for quite a while. Now we do again.

I see somewhere in updates of the plugin, you have made the STATE and COUNTRY built-ins use an autocomplete. But the plugin user has to create all the countries and states.

Is there any option to turn off that functionality so that the built-in STATE and COUNTRY work as they did before, as just a text field?

Our online events are international, it would be crazy overhead to identify and manually create the hundreds of countries and states we do or might get registrations from.

Or do I have to just create a DIY replacement for the built-ins, like #_FIELDNAME{State} and #_FIELD{State}, in order to get the older functionality of a plain text field?

thanks,
John

Indeed, if you just want text fields, create custom fields.
Now: in the EME countries/states page, you can import countries and states (see https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/category/documentation/19-csv-import/csv-import-countries-states/ ). It can be done very quickly if you don’t want to provide translations and just keep 1 language. I don’t provide these by default in EME because of the language, but see the link and then decide if you want to use them or not.

OK, thanks!
I didn’t notice the import functionality, will use that if we decide to go with the autocomplete functionality.
