I am using the Address field in a form. How do I allow users to click and drop a marker on a map at an arbitrary location rather than clicking on the existing marker and moving it? It is not intuitive that users must click the existing pin and move it.

Hi, there's not currently a feature that allows Users to drop markers at arbitrary locations. Changes in the address field or the latitude/longitude fields can update the marker location. It might be possible with some custom code, but that falls outside the scope of support we offer here. If you'd like to request a User-dropped pin is added to the software, I encourage you to create a new ticket here in the forum using the "Suggest an Improvement" option. This will put your request in front of our development team. They will analyze and determine if this is something we want to add.
