    I think a possible refinement for the Event listings could be to remove the address to save the lister having to fill this out, as this seems to be a duplication as there are ‘Venue’ and ‘Location’ fields that serve the purpose.

    I don’t believe it’s possible to remove the requirement to add an address but leave the map coordinates to allow the map marker to show. But I think this area could be refined to help reduce the time taken to add a listing. The quicker and easier it is the more we stand to get published by users.

    On a side note I find that when completing a listings details the address and map features are a little awkward. For example, if I enter a full address and then try to place the map marker, what happens is that the address, is often changed as, as soon as I touch the map to place the marker it updates the address and I end up having to then fix the address. So is it possible to detach the address from the map coordinates so one does not override the other?

    There is an option in the Locations (tab) for that. Make sure you click “Show advanced” and review all the options, looking for one to disable updating the address when dragging the map pin.

    We have on the roadmap to autopopulate the listing info from the linked post, we just haven’t gotten to it yet.

    I can’t see the backend but that is the right page.
