Issue

 At this time Salesforce fields with a GeoLocation field types are not supported. Despite being unsupported, field tags for fields of a GeoLocation field type are still displayed in field tagger. These fields typically look similar to 

50°39'32''N 45°0'0''E

 

Error Code

Not Applicable

 

Resolution


As a workaround for Geolocation field types being unsupported, create a new custom field with a rich text type to store your GeoLocation coordinates. Please note we advise creating a net new custom field of a rich text variety to store your Geo coordinates as opposed to simply converting the field type to rich text.

More information on the potential risk of data loss when converting field types can be found here: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=notes_on_changing_custom_field_types.htm&type=5
