Insert a state

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:05PM in SuiteCloud / Customization

Hi friends,
I have in the following property as unchecked.

 Setup > Company > General Preference > Allow Free-Form States in Addresses 


this allows me to select the states in a country easily while entering through the NS interface.

But this is now creating a problem for me when i enter the customer in via webservice, i have to put the state field in exactly the same format, eg. if for UK i have to enter Lincs. and not even Lincs (without .) for Lincolnhshire

Is there a way i can remove this restriction without checking the above property, i.e. in webservice it accepts the state field as is without checking the acceptable values?

Howdy, Stranger!
