James Jackson I am facing very strange issue while working with new Location field. That might not be an issue but still let me put it here as I am not clear how Location field is behaving.
Case-1: I copy paste "6321 Westwood Rd Shreveport, LA 71129" address to the location field then it divided the entries as below
Here country selected as US
Case-2: I pasted "20 N Van Dorn Street Alexandria, VA USA" address to the location field then it divided the entries as below
Here country selected as United States
Case-3: Case-2: I pasted "6310 Rory Court, Lanham, MD 20706, USA" address to the location field then it divided the entries as below
Here country selected as US
Here you can see that sometimes it is taking US and sometimes it is taking United States. So now if I am grouping the list view by Country then I am able to see 2 groups for same country as US and United States.
Can you please help me why this is generated and how I can resolve it?

aakashdmaurya I have this same issue. Did you find a solution or workaround to standardize the display of US v United States?
