I'm trying to find a way to create a drop down list of US states and it led me to this thread... I am to understand the list has to be created manually? Is there a bug that prevents this method for creating such a drop down exist?

I have purchased a license for CB Subs and the list is needed for registration.

Thank you!

You can follow example of this article:

www.joomlapolis.com/content/view/208/37/

and make it work for states case.

The original issue is fixed for upcoming CB 1.2.2.

Here the fix in diff-style:

Edit: (fix format posted is unified diff: remove lines with - and replace by lines with + at begin).
