Leading Zeros Stripped from Zipcodes in Street Address Field

When using a workflow to access the address subfield within a Google Validated Street Address field any leading zeros are removed from Zipcodes even when the Postal Code subfield is copied to a text (string) field. This essentially leaves this entire process essentially useless as any addresses with zipcodes that start with zero are then incorrect.

A workflow is the only way I have found to reformat the address to the standardised layout used in the US.

Is this likely to be resolved anytime soon? I am trying to establish if we need to rebuild the system ditching the Google Validated Street Address field as it continues to cause issues for my client.

Thanks for following up Dominic, at the moment we don’t have a solution unfortunately

It’s something we might be able to in the next few weeks or later October.

Hi Darragh,

Wondering if any progress has been made on the various issues with the verified address field, including this one. My client is asking what the stack would look like for this coming academic year and I am deciding what to recommend.
