Thanks for your query.
The address only version does a simplified version - a single line field that lets you enter just a full address on one line (eg 234 Somewhere Street, Someville 3000, Victoria). The full version provides separate fields that let you enter a house number separately to the street name and so on. The full version does also include the "Full version" field but that's only because it includes all fields that the API provides.
Regarding whether you can access the individual parts of the address post-validation, we don't do anything there at the moment but it looks to be possible. The AddressFinder API provides a way to get location metadata (https://addressfinder.com.au/api/au/location/metadata/). I'll see what I can do for you.

Hi again.
I was wrong in the previous comment - we did have some code to do what you ask, but it was broken, perhaps by changes upstream since it was written. Whatever the case, I've now pushed fixes/improvements to the dev branch.
If you use the full control (the multiple fields version), it will now populate the other fields when you type an address into the field field and pick an entry from the autocomplete.
Could you check out whether it achieves what you're after?
Thanks!
Nij
