You would have always wondered if there is a possibility to add a field (Apt. No. , Suburb, etc.) to the existing SuiteCRM 8 address block. We are happy to share with you how you can achieve the same and have such additional fields in your address block.

1) Create a field in your module.

2) Add field to the address group.

3) Repair & Rebuild.

Let's take an example for the Accounts module,

Create a file and add field definition by extending vardefs.

custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/suburb.php

$dictionary['Account']['fields']['billing_address_suburb'] = array(
      'name' => 'billing_address_suburb',
      'vname' => 'LBL_BILLING_ADDRESS_SUBURB',
      'type' => 'varchar',
      'len' => '100',
      'group' => 'billing_address',
      'merge_filter' => 'enabled',
);

Add a label for suburb field.

custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Language/en_us.suburb.php

Add below line in the file created above.

$mod_strings['LBL_BILLING_ADDRESS_SUBURB'] = 'Suburb';

- Perform quick repair & rebuild from admin and execute the query that appears.This will create a new field in your 'accounts' table.

Update group field definition

config/services/record/fields/grouped_fields_type_map.yaml

Find the address block and add the "suburb" field name as shown below.

Perform quick repair & rebuild from admin.

You will get the suburb field to the address group.
