Replicate State/Province behavior in custom field?
How is the native State/Province field built in Address sublist? When I choose a country for which NS knows the States or Provinces, it's a dropdown list that shows only the states for that country (e.g. USA, Mexico, Canada). However, if I select Angola, the State field switches to freeform very fluidly and vice versa. How could I reproduce this?
My first idea is to create two fields for State/Province: 1) a List/Record field utilizing the native States list and 2) a freeform field. Then I'd hide/show the correct field based on country selection thru field change triggers. I don't know what snags I'd hit, but I'm sure it will be far more elaborate than I'd like. I could go less elegant in UI and just show both fields and do some coding that would grab the dropdown value if populated, the freeform if not.
