          Enable and Disable State and Country/Territory Picklists

          Enable and Disable State and Country/Territory Picklists

          When you enable state and country/territory picklists, the picklists are immediately available to users. However, it can take some time for Salesforce to populate the ISO code fields on existing records. If users try to edit the state or country/territory on a record before the code field is populated, they’re prompted to select a code value.

            If you disable state and country/territory picklists:

            • For records that you haven’t saved since enabling picklists, state and country/territory values revert to their original text values.
            • For records that you’ve saved since enabling picklists, state, country, and territory integration values replace original text values.
            • References to state and country/territory picklists in customizations—such as workflow field updates, email templates, and Visualforce pages—become invalid.
            • Columns and filters that refer to picklist fields in reports and list views disappear.
            • You can’t edit state and country/territory fields in reports.
