Good afternoon,

I followed, or thought I followed your directions as outlined here: www.hikashop.com/en/forum/4-how-to/2310-...ipping-location.html

I do get the counties showing up, however, the "states" are not showing and seem to be tied to the field 'Country'. Have i missed something? Or better still, what did I misfire on?

The attached file shows the result when doing addresses.

Thanks.
Kurt

Reviewing the threads and such, Here are my needed business rules for the county tax requirement.

1. Client will be selling product both within and outside of the State of Wisconsin
2. Instate customers will select their county during registration, out of state customers will select an 'Out of State' for their county.
3. I will need to collect their respective State as part of the address.

If I repurpose the country for the State and if i repurpose the state for county the county shows up for selection but I'm not seeing 'states' as it seems tied to 'Country'. If that's correct, how would I do a work around?

Thanks, Kurt

It sounds to be a problem related to the default value of the field which prevents it from loading the dropdown.
The simplest will be to change the type of the address_country field to a single dropdown and enter the values yourself for the states. That won't impact the calculation of the taxes based on the county selected.
