State, Country, and Territory Picklist Fields
Understand the state, country, and territory picklist fields.
Section Title
| Field | Description |
| Country/Territory Name | The ISO-standard name that appears in the Salesforce user interface. |
| Country/Territory Code | The two-letter ISO-standard code. If you change an ISO code, the new value must be unique. Codes are case insensitive and must contain only ASCII characters and numbers. You can’t edit the ISO codes of standard states or countries. You can edit the country or territory codes of custom states, countries, and territories only before you enable those states, countries, and territories for your users. |
| Country/Territory Phone Code | The one- to three-digit international phone number format for this country or territory without the plus sign or other prefix. |
| Integration Value |
A customizable text value that is linked to a state, country, or territory code. Integration values for standard states, countries, and territories default to the full ISO-standard names. Integration values function like the API names of custom fields and objects and enable existing integrations to continue to work even after you set up the picklist. You can edit integration values to match values that you use elsewhere in your
organization. For example, a workflow rule uses When you update a code value on a record, that record’s State/Province (text
only) or Country (text only) column is populated with the
corresponding integration value. And, when you update a state, or country (text
only) column with a valid integration value, the corresponding state, or
country/territory code column stays in sync. You can change your organization’s integration
values after you enable state and country/territory picklists. But when you update your
picklists’ state and country/territory integration values, the integration values on your
records aren’t updated. Name values aren’t stored on records. Instead, they’re retrieved
based on a record’s State Code or Country Code
value. If the states, countries, or territories in your picklists have different field
values for Name and Integration Value, make sure
your report or list view filters use the correct values. Use names in |
