Description

from danielm: The service area type drop down is redundant with the following fields " neighborhood", "region", "county" "City". Can these respective field values be set based on what option is selected in the drop down so that the excess fields could be removed?

  • Maybe we could add some more instructional text that street_address/city/state/zip are optional fields that will be used to search service areas on a map, so, when adding ServiceAreas that are of type region/city/county, to enter an "address" in the center of the geographic region so we can search maps later on
  • Should we consider hiding street_address/city/state/zip from ServiceArea form?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the ServiceArea form view and model to understand field relationships. Consider adding conditional logic to hide or show fields based on service area type, and add instructional text for optional address fields.
