@tomhughes Thank you for the comment. I agree with you about the complexity of the code, but there are several reasons for both methods.
Changing location name manually solves cases like: 1. Disputed areas - someone living in the area A may not want to show that area is part of country B and not C. 2. Several countries - someone who has citizenship of several countries may want to set his location name to something like "Georgia & Germany" 3. Choosing privacy - someone may want to explicitly mention "Tbilisi, Georgia", but someone may want to just show the country and keep other details private Meanwhile, changing location with Nominatim autofill introduces: 1. Better UX - if user is okay with showing only home country, autofill avoids extra typing from user 2. Standardization - default value introduces default standard for user to easily perceive what kind of and what detalization of information is recommended for the field 3. Motivation to fill - when user sees a warning about the field that it doesn't match home location, it subconsciously motivates him to click the autofill button (just one easy click) and increases use of the feature By choosing only one solution we sacrifice either functionality or better UX. Currently, autofill suggests name of the country and warning is only shown if manually typed location doesn't contain country name. Therefore, "Germany & Georgia", "Tbilisi, Georgia", "Georgia" won't show any autofill warning if user has home location set in Georgia. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/5302#issuecomment-2464688461 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
