How to create an Address Block

[citapinc]

SugarCRM CE 6.2.3

On the Opportunity page, I added an address field as type address, which then created all the fields.

In Studio, I modified the Opportunity Page and added the new Address field.

When I go to the Opportunity page, it only shows the one address line. What I'm looking for is the address block like you see in the Accounts page with the Bill to and Ship to addresses and the copy to clipboard icon.

I've gone through the entire Studio and can't find a Address Block feature or anything like that.

Therefore how can I get the address block like I see it in the Company EditView screen with the Copy to Clipboard icon?

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Hi,
have you selected field type address from drop down while creating fields.
if you did so , address block will automatically poplulated rather than single field.
thanks

Yes that is correct. When I created the field I selected the field type Address and as a result it created all the additional address fields. However when I put the field "Address" on the layout, it only puts the address 1 box and nothing else.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a bug or not.

Thanks Jeff, these instructions are perfect!

Don't you think this is a bug in SugarCRM? Any address created with the field type Address should be recognized as an Address Block regardless if it has the _c at the end. Am I wrong in that thinking?

I think it is a feature that has yet to be implemented. Maybe you can submit a feature request to fix the issue.
