What are the default values for Event Location and Region?

[delapuente]

Airtable Event Location and Region (place and location in the UI) do not have default values. Although they may seem mandatory, there is nothing enforcing a value in the Airtable so these fields could come empty. In those cases. What are the default values?

Right now, the default value for an absent Event Location is the Region if that exists. If not, it is nothing. For the Region, there is no fallback: if it is not provided, it shows nothing.

Suggestion to add TBD as a fall back location. One other suggestion is to makeup a fake location (nice to have) but preferred TBD.

@y4izus now we are switching to the new table, is this solved or mitigated somehow?

Just to clarify:

• As Salva said, the default value for an absent Event Location is the Region, but Region default in TBD when it hasn't value
• The Region is never shown on the card, we only show the Location
• The Region is used for the filter, so, an event with a Region that has TBD or a value that doesn't match with the checkbox options, won't be shown as a result of the filter research

If you agree with this behavior, we can close the issue

I'm fine with this. If the Event team has a better suggestion we can always reopen this issue.
