#2494 - Merge Location_Grid And Location_Grid_Meta Into A Single Field

[kodinkat]

• fixes: #2494

---

Further Design Discussion Points

• Need to determine which field should be updated when record contains multiple meta location fields and contact_address field populated.

• Once proposed shape has been merged; need to identify plugins impacted by changes and in need of updates:

  • DT_Webform
  • DT_Import

@kodinkat If i use the API to set the location_grid to Paris as so:

The location field stays empty:

On the contact the location grid field acquires 2 values:

We'll want to merge these into one value and make sure the field is displayed. If the user updates the contact via location_grid or location_grid_meta we want to end up with the same result

403 Forbidden exception encountered whilst trying to directly access API; which I believe is the result of an abscent nonce. As a result, no updates are made to location field.

Recent updates now ensure multiple postmeta location grid entries are no longer made.
