I have a question for the hive mind and am seeking creative solutions (if there is one) regarding the ISO Name for Countries in RE. We have an alum who is from Kosovo and would like to have her address reflect this, however, Kosovo is not recognized as a country and our option is Serbia. Adding Kosovo without the correct ISO Name/abbreviation causes issues with our BBNC plug in. Has anyone come up with a solution other than "this is how it is"? Thanks!

    It has been a long time since I've worked in BBNC, but I seem to recall that it had its own Countries Table that pulled from the Countries Table in RE. If memory serves you need to add the country to the RE Config/International and then in BBNC be sure to check that Country in the BBNC tables. You may want to repost this question in the BBNC discussions for greater insight.

    @Kelly Garwood I looked to see what our entry was and then ‘googled’ it. You're correct, Kosovo is not recognized as a country. I don't want to say it but it may “this is how it is.” :) You could try to create it but I don't know if it will work long term.

    @Kelly Garwood it may offend the purists, but could you cope with a blank Country field and fill in Kosovo in the County / State field?
