I have the following local settings:

But when I tried to create a record with location fields, the default country is always "united states"

How to set it to be "Australia" by default? 

Thanks.

Hi -

So, you can achieve this by modifying the default value in the 'country' picklist. To do this,

1. go to your object,

2. edit 'country' picklist field,

3. prepend {D} to 'Australia',

4. remove {D} against 'United states',

5. save.

Now, on your record create pages you should see that country dropdown is defaulted to 'Australia'.

Changing the localization settings to Australia will not affect these picklists.

Also, please note that 'country' is a shared picklist, so, any modifications will also affect other picklists in the system using this picklist. Refer to documentation.progress.com/.../ for more information about the picklist and the share feature.

Regards.
