Describe the issue or problem
Set default country for the “Country” field in the contributor form
- Go to a new submission.
- Click on “Add Contributor” (or the equivalent action to open the contributor form).
- Observe the “Country” dropdown field within the contributor metadata form.
- The “Country” field is blank by default. We would like it to default to my country
[Your Journal's Common Country].
What application are you using?
3.4.0-9
Additional information
I understand that OJS serves a global community and making a country field default might not suit all journals. However, an optional setting to enable a default country would be very beneficial for many.
