sourabhmulay / statecodes

Automatically creates all 4000+ values for state and country picklists

This tool initializes all ISO states by screen scraping the forms in setup.
(State and Country picklist values cannot be created any other way)

Install

• Install the package: /packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t4J000000tIvu
• Go to Setup > Installed Packages > State Codes, then click Configure
• Review the included ISO state codes then click Start Batch

Verify

Inspect the State and Country picklist values before, during, and after starting the batch:

Modify

After the package creates all the state codes and state names, the values must be permanently activated using Workbench or an IDE connected to the org. Follow these steps in sandbox before attempting in production:

1. Install the package in sandbox, not production
2. Go to Installed Packages > Configure > Run Batch
3. Use any text editor to create a package.xml file:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <Package>
       <types>
           <members>Address</members>
           <name>Settings</name>
       </types>
       <version>45.0</version>
   </Package>
   

4. In Workbench, go to Migration > Retrieve, use package.xml
5. Download the result and unzip its contents into a new folder
6. Open the Address.settings file in your text editor
7. Replace all <active>false</active> with <active>true</active>
8. Replace all <visible>false</visible> with <visible>true</visible>
9. Save changes, then zip up the exact contents of the folder again
10. In Workbench, go to Migration > Deploy, and deploy the new zip file
