State Dropdown list missing for China, Indonesia

Post by vk1di »

See that the State field is no longer free text in V2.5.0.0, instead you need to select from a drop down list.
The lists for China and Indonesia contacts are missing, ie can't add the State (actually Provinces) for these countries. How do you update the list?

As far as I can see there is no 'Primary subdivision' (State) enumeration for either country in the ADIF standard that will be why we dont include the list.

The dynamic nature of version 2 with regard to main line awards is pivotal on standard awards structure and the data related to such awards

Hi Terry,

I looked up The State enumeration defined in the release notes for the last version of Adif, and you are correct, China and Indonesia States/province codes are not listed.

A pity as both these countries have awards for contacting all Provinces. Will have to use some other method to track, I was using the State field in a custom award to keep track of them.

There also seems to be an error in some of the Japanese Prefecture codes. If you select say Hokkaido, Log4OM returns State value 1. The Adif 3.10 emuneration standard for Hokkaido Prefecture is 01. From https://www.adif.org/310/ADIF_310.htm#Enumeration

Seems that the 0 leading digit got lost for 01 to 09 prefectures. I was using this to track the Japan Worked All Prefectures award (WAJA). This numeric format is listed on https://www.jarl.org/English/4_Library/ ... ja_map.pdf
