Hi,

The requirement is that the customer would basically like to enter multiple addresses of the same type against an individual. The use case is that they are practitioners that "work" at multiple venues and are sharing the address of these venues. They're all work addresses and should be classified as such, but when they try and save it they're getting:

Location type Work has already been assigned to another address. Please select another location type for this address.
I suspect this is as designed, but just checking to see if there is anything that I may have missed.

Regards.

alternatively you could just add some new location types called Work1, Work2, Work3 etc but may not meet all your requirements

My use case is HQ with branches (many).  I originally thought to use a single organization (for HQ) and use the address name field to denote each branch with their respective address.  I like this approach but it is not practical to make branch1, branch2, etc. so it seems my only other option is to use relationships to link discrete organization entries for each branch.

Wondering if anyone approached this differently...

Thanks!
