How can we add additional address fields in 7.2?

Hello,

You can use these steps to create a 'Address 2' field and add it to the Address block in each module:

1. Login as an Administrator and navigate to Admin > Studio.
2. Select the module where you want to add the 'Address 2' field, then click Fields and select Add Field.
3. Use the Field Type 'TextField' then enter the relevant information, so that it appears similar to this screenshot:
   
4. Save the new field.
5. Access your SugarCRM File System and navigate to the following location:

   ./custom/modules/<Module>/clients/base/views/record/

6. - If this directory does not exist, you can easily create it by going to Admin > Studio > <Module> > Layouts > Record View, and clicking 'Save & Deploy.'
7. Open the 'record.php' file in a text editor.
8. Locate the following array:
   
   - The 'name' values may be slightly different based on the Module you're working in.
9. At the end of the 'array( 0 =>)' add a new line, then enter the following code:
   |
   - You'll need to adjust the 'name' and 'placeholder' values to match the field you created.
10. You'll need to update each of the subsequent arrays, so that their numeric value is one greater, so the original '1 => array()' should become '2 => array()' and so on until the address field arrays are numbered correctly.
11. Save your changes to this file.
12. Return to Sugar, then navigate to Admin > Repair and use Quick Repair and Rebuild.
13. If you navigate to your module and click the Edit button, you should see that there is now a second line in the address field block:
    

You'll need to use these steps for each Address Block in each module, but it does provide the ability to add additional fields.

I am looking at implementing the solution for adding billing street 2, billing street 3 etc for addresses that have more lines. However, when I edited the layout of the Accounts module, I noticed that these fields already exist in the Labels and ListView, but cannot find a way of having them appear in the Record View and being able to edit them via the Fields list so I can checkbox Allow Imports and have them available in the Import file template. Please help! Thanks, Emma
