[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-6882) Extend the PostalAddress entity with additional elements

[Nicolas Malin (Jira)]

Scott Gray commented on OFBIZ-6882:
-----------------------------------

The main problem is that "house number" is too specific for a generic data model because it implies the building at this street number is a house. 

I don't have a problem with recording one or two numbers in separate fields that specify a location detail for address1, I only have a problem with the naming.

I don't have a problem with cityGeoId, I understand it can be desirable for the city to constrained to the available Geo records rather than free text input.

For municipalityGeoId, municipality is a new construct for the data model and I won't have preferred more discussion around the use case and to have seen some samples provided.

 

None of this is about attempting to be "smart" or treating google as a source of truth.  It's about collaboration and using our shared experience and knowledge to come to a conclusion that is suitable for as many use cases as possible.  Ignoring review comments and making passive aggressive comments is not healthy for the community or the code.

> Various modern day 3rd party delivery solutions (e.g. PostNL in The Netherlands) require that elements are delivered separately, so that addresses can be checked more easily.
> Current definition of the PostalAddress doesn't have separation of:
> * street name
> * house number
> * house number addition or extension
