    Hi All,

    On the Medium Characteristics object , we are capturing the site address where engineer visit need to be done?

    But there are no placeholders available to capture building name and building number - does anyone know if TMF have any plans to introduce those fields in future version and when the same can be expected?

    Or anyone else have faced similar issues in their project if using TMF 646 API. Thanks in advance! 

    Additionally , is it the right approach to merge and send the street and building details as mentioned below if we don't want to do any extensions.

    • Street name + Street number in Street1
    • Building name + number in Street2

    Hi,

    I think nodoby will ever be happy with address attributes. Each country has different rules and needs! 

    If you look at the information model (SID) for the Geographic Address ABE (GB922), you will see they've created multiple variations of address entities, dedicated to different country and different type of address and with very detailled attributes (building, floor, GPS coordinate...) you may want to extend your API to fit your specific needs.

    Or make use the "related entity" sub-resource to reference other entities provided by other Geo API (673 and 674)
