Screen Flow - Address Lightning Component is missing the CountryCode

Question

I am using the Address Lightning component in a screen flow. I have State and Country picklist enabled, so when the user selects a country, the state is enabled or not.

The problem is that the 'Country' value, and 'State' values, are saved as the value/name/label, and not the API 2 char code.

I don't see any additional settings on the Address component.

And when I create the lead, the Country code is empty, while the country has the value from the Picklist.

I am trying multiple scenarios:

But getting same issue: The country code in the object only gets the Name from the Address, and not the Value

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The Address component only provides you with values as you noted and as is documented.

If you were to insert the record, then CountryCode & StateCode would be populated based on the value you passed to the record.

Since you indicated you can't do that (insert & then re-query), you'll have to do handle the mapping yourself based on the value you're given. You have a couple options

1. Use Invocable apex to get the code based on the value

String countryCode;
String stateCode;

//get CountryCode
Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = User.Countrycode.getDescribe();
List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();
System.debug('Picklist::'+ple);
for( Schema.PicklistEntry f : ple){
    if(f.getLabel() == yourCountryValue){
        //store value of code
        countryCode = f.getValue();
    }
}

//get StateCode
Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = User.statecode.getDescribe();
List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();
System.debug('Picklist::'+ple);
for( Schema.PicklistEntry f : ple){
    if(f.getLabel() == yourStateValue){
        stateCode = f.getValue();
    }
}

//return values back to Flow to use in query

2. Load in a Custom Setting or Custom Metadata Type a mapping of Country/State Values you can query in the Flow directly to get the corresponding code based on value.

I am the Product Manager for our screen flow components. Proper support for State and Country Picklists is coming soon, check out this idea for more updates: https://ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00000GdgLIUAZ/flow-screen-components-include-validation-options-and-required-attributes

We're also adding a number of other fun features like Disabled, Required, and Google Address Lookup!

Is there a channel where we can report or upvote the need to fix this Screenflow issue w/ Salesforce?

Another work-around option if you need to stay in Flows:

• Create a temporary contact record with the Mailing Country set.
• Save then retrieve the record and assign the Mailing Country Code to a variable
• Rollback database changes
• Assign the variable's value to the destination Country Code field
