How might I set up a playground to test Custom Address field functionality (including Google Maps Autocomplete)?
It seems that none of the playgrounds I've setup so far have the 'Maps and Location Settings' option required to turn on address Autocomplete. I need to provide a POC of Autocomplete working with a new Custom Address compound field.
Thank you, in advance!
Hello,
unfortunately you cannot test these things in developer/playground orgs. This feature is only available in the following type of orgs(https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_maps.htm&type=5):
- Professional
- Enterprise
- Performance
- Unlimited
I faced the same problem but fortunately we had a spare sandbox where I was able to try it out and it works fine. You have to enable the Maps and location setting and also under User Interface setting, enable the custom address fields. There are some limitations for custom address fields, you can read about those here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.caf_dev_guide.meta/caf_dev_guide/caf_dev_limitations.htm
And for the POC maybe you can refer for the documentation which says: " Users can populate a custom address field manually, or they can use the Google lookup to search for an address." https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_caf_create.htm&type=5
Also under available features for custom address fields, the google lookup is listed here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.caf_dev_guide.meta/caf_dev_guide/caf_dev_guide.htm
I hope I was able to help a bit.
