Hey all, Quick background on the issue raised:
- This has been raised 3 years ago when we first deployed the portal. - The programmatic decision (which still stands) is that Country is a drop-down list (coming from product-details, so not Reps specific) and everything else is free-form field. [1] - Kosovo is not included in product-details as a Country. [2] - Those individuals have been contacted in the past multiple times, and they are not willing to change their profile. Personal comment (Reps module-owner-hat on): People should be free to self-report what they want on their profiles.
