I’m following the documentation for adding new address types in Gravity Forms located here: [https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform\_address\_types/](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_address_types/) My goal is to add a new dropdown for County where State should be and move State and Zip to the next line together. This documentation seems to just show how to rename the fields which are already on the address type. Is there a way to: 1. Add a new field to the address? I want to add a field County. 2. Adjust the layout of the form fields? I want the new County field above State and Zip. ---

I think you will need to create a new address type using the gform\_address\_types filter. You could follow this example I think: > **[gform\_address\_types - Gravity Forms Documentation](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_address_types/#3-united-kingdom)** > > This filter is executed when creating the address field (admin and front end). Use it to add support for a new address type ---

That’s actually the link I meant to post. I was following that documentation for the gform\_address\_type It explains how to add a new address type but not how to add an actual field to that address type. ---

Hi Avi - I’m trying to accomplish the exact same thing. Did you ever find a solution for this? Thanks Hila ---

Hi Hila. I recommend opening a new topic and asking your question there. This topic is pretty old. Thank you. ---
