City, State, Zip speedup

[Jimmy37]

I would like to have a way to speed up the entry of city, state and zip on new contacts.

I had tried Address Plus and like the address-related databases it keeps. When you start typing the City name, it matches to an entry in the database so you don't have to type the whole thing. Same with the state. Unfortunately, it does this same behavior with Name, Company, Title, and even Street address (that's overkill, IMHO), but does not do it for zip (an omission).

Doing this kind of thing for city, state, and zip would be a neat addition to AN. If that's not possible, I think that having an option of setting a default city, a default state and default zip would be great. Oh, and maybe have an option to force the entire state field as capitals? Seems stupid to force the initial capital, and then always have to do the shift stroke to capitalize the other letter.

Hi,

This is being considered for a future version of Action Names, but I dont have any ETA.

Thanks very much. I had been considering saving a bogus contact entry that was filled with my "defaults", and then when I wanted to make a new contact, I'd just duplicate the bogus record, using it like a template. Seems like a workaround, but not very elegant.

This same technique, autofill of the company field with existing info in the database, would be extremely helpful as well.
