I'd like to pre-set the country code of an optional address field (typical business and/or mailing address setup), but when I set the country code in the default value, if the address is otherwise left blank, the form fails validation.
The validation error is:
6 errors have been found:
First name, Last name, Street address, City, Province, Postal code
If the address field has no country code pre-set as a default value, the empty address field validates.
I tried adapting the recipe from the cookbook → (which applies to Simple Address), but it still failed with the same validation errors.
This is similar, but I believe different than these related issues:
-
#2939278: Sub-elements of hidden container-type elements shouldn't be required →
-
#2929234: Required sub-elements in Address prevent submission when Address itself not required →
advanced_address_1:

advanced_address_2:

'#description': 'This advanced address field has a default value (country code) set, and fails validation.'

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
A simple solution is to use the Advanced settings and set a default of a single space for each of the required fields, like so:
country_code: AU
langcode: ''
address_line1: ' '
address_line2: ' '
locality: ' '
administrative_area: NSW
postal_code: ' '
given_name: null
additional_name: null
family_name: null
organization: null
sorting_code: null
dependent_locality: null
