# State

The `State` field allows the user to choose the state or province of a specified country from a list of options in a dropdown.

If an address is selected from the dropdown of an [Address Line 1](/platform/build-forms/elements/fields/address/street-address-line-1.md) field on the same step, this field will automatically populate with the state.

If a [Country](/platform/build-forms/elements/fields/address/country.md) field's value is selected on the step, the `State` field options will automatically update to reflect the regions of the specified country.

You may also configure the default country and region that is used by the `State` field.

Feathery uses [Google Maps API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places-autocomplete) to support address autocomplete.

### For Developers <a href="#example" id="example"></a>

The Feathery SDK and API reference state fields with `type` equal to `state`. The submitted value is a `string`.
