Default State on create client screen

[katycomputer]

By default /admin/clients/add/ lists "United States", is there a way to specify a default state?

99.99% of our clients are in Missouri, it seems like a lot of aggravation to scroll down the list of states.

Nice idea .

There is no way to have a state pre-selected without updating the source code to add in that option yourself.

But to save yourself from some scrolling, you could select the field (or hit TAB until you get to it) and then begin typing on your keyboard to change the selected value, (e.g. begin typing out "Missouri").

I don't mind editing the source code - what file sets the default state?

[Tyson]

The browser's default option is the first item in the list, which for an alphabetical list of states in the US is Alabama. You can override it by specifying a state in the AdminClients controller:

1. Open /app/controllers/admin_clients.php
2. Find:

    $vars->language = $company_settings['language'];

    

3. Add beneath that line:

   $vars->state = 'MO';
