            Create a Custom Address Field

            Use the Address field type to create a custom address field that mimics the behavior of standard address fields. For example, add a Warehouse Address field to a standard or custom object. Users can populate a custom address field manually, or they can use the Google lookup to search for an address. Then you can access each address that’s stored in a custom address field, either as a structured compound data type or as individual address components.

            Required Editions

            Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
            Available in: all editions
            User Permissions Needed
            To create or change custom fields: Customize Application

            Before you can create a custom address field, enable this feature in User Interface Settings. For more information, see Enable Custom Address Fields.

            Before you create a custom address field, review the requirements and limitations.

            1. In your Salesforce org, click The gear icon. and select Setup.
            2. Click the Object Manager tab. If you don’t see it, enter Object Manager in the Quick Find box and select Object Manager.
            3. From the Object Manager page, select the object to which you want to add the custom address field.
            4. From the sidebar, click Fields & Relationships.
            5. To create a custom field, click New.
            6. Choose Address as the data type. Address is at the bottom of the data type list.
              The Data Type selection screen.
            7. Click Next.
            8. Enter the field label and field name.
              The field label appears above the custom address field and at the beginning of each component label. When you specify your field label, consider whether the word Address is needed. In many cases, the field label doesn’t require the word Address. To help API users, you can add the word Address to the field name.

              Here’s the label field when building or editing a field in Object Manager.

              The field details screen in Object Manager.

              And here’s the field on the Account object.

              The field details screen in Object Manager.
            9. Optionally, enter a description and help text, and select whether to add the new field to custom reports. Then click Next.
            10. Select the field’s visibility and edit access.
            11. Select the Dynamic Forms-enabled Lightning record pages that should include the field, then click Next.
              If you don’t have any Dynamic Forms-enabled Lightning record pages for the object, this step doesn’t appear.
            12. Click Next. Then click Save.
            13. To edit the placement of the custom address field on the pages associated with this object, click Page Layouts.
