    Hello,

    I was just wondering if you had any plans to update the fields in the country dropdown - particularly the change from Swaziland to eSwatini

    I am forwarding your request to our backend team. Though we cannot provide an update on this but we will get back to you as soon as we have any update from them.

    For now, I would suggest you to please manually add the list of country instead of using the predefined country list in the dropdown field.

    Thanks @ashwin_d,

    I dont think that will be practical/easy for us to do in the short term for a few reasons.

    Please keep me posted with progress on this.

    As a workaround, you can add a Dropdown element to your form and add the list of countries as options yourself.

    Hello Chris,

    The country name has been changed to eSwatini in the predefined country list now.

    Thank you for informing us about this change and sorry for the inconveniences caused so far.
