Author Topic: Can't change Street Address and City fields in Shared Address profile (Read 1165 times)

I'm relatively new to CiviCRM, but have been fairly deeply immersed in it for the last couple of weeks. So far, I'm really loving it and have begun another implementation for a business networking group that I belong to.

My problem is that I'm trying to customize the profiles so that they reference the "Work" contact information by default instead of "Home". I've made the changes to the "Name and Address" profile with no problem and it's working perfectly. Same for the "New Individual" profile.

The "Shared Address" profile, however, does not let me change the "Street Address (Home)" or the "City (Home)" fields to their WORK counterparts. These fields do not show the options to Edit, Delete or Disable and are flagged as "Reserved." Is there some functionality of CiviCRM that requires this?

I also tried creating a new profile with the work fields, but I can't find where to tell CiviCRM to use this profile (named "Shared Address 2") instead of the default one. Renaming the profiles don't work (I suspect because the profile itself is flagged "Reserved").

I'm kinda stumped.

I no it's a late reply, but just case you haven't found a solution....

Go into your database to the civicrm_uf_group table and find the profile. Then look in the civicrm_uf_field table and search for fields with that uf_group_id. You should find the various address fields. Update the location_type_id field to the location type you'd like to use.

That should work. This is a global change.
