Found two conflict problems.
1.The Plugin “WP Editor” by Benjamin Rojas causes visual problems with GD. It truncates form dropdowns and makes them so narrow they are barely visible and inaccessible.
2. WooCommerce Shipping Label (BASIC) by XAdapter causes the real problem though. It precludes saving by not acknowledging data in a field and makes multiple ineffective dropdowns.
I am continuing to have a problem BTW, and am not sure if it’s due to additional plugin challenges. Like you suggested, I set a basic Default Location (city, state, country) and am now unable to create any GD Place that reside OUTSIDE of that default area. I used my office city as the default area and now I’m forced to setup all my Places WITHIN that city area.
Does this sound like an improper setting or another possible conflict?
