Paul Foxworthy commented on OFBIZ-4270:
---------------------------------------
On reflection, I think *your* idea is better!
Geo is a very simple entity, and I'm uncomfortable adding an attribute that is
only relevant to Geos of type COUNTRY. Your original idea would keep the Geo
entity simple.
Is there another entity trying to emerge, which is not just about which
countries use regions in their postal addresses, but also what else makes a
valid postal address. Such as:
- Where should the postcode/zip code be placed in the address?
- What format should a valid postcode have?
BJ suggested an entity to validate postal addresses in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-100. I would suggest
PostalAddressFormat as a name. See also
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-203.
For data entry, we could define a view that brings together each Geo of type
COUNTRY and its associated PostalAddressFormat, if one exists. That would give
the effect of the Geo with the boolean flag in a more general and extensible
way.
