It would be great if admins could enter default Country and City information in the fields for Events.
My site (and many others) is a hyperlocal one and the vast majority of events are within one city, and there is absolutely no reason for any events to be in a different country (and the list of countries available to users is huge).
This would remove superflous information and prevent a barrier for users to create an event.
I did a search for this on the forums here and there are a few threads of other sites asking about it, but it doesn’t seem to ever have been formally requested.
So, ideally (as I see it, there may be other solutions), in ACP > Community > Events Settings, there would be a ‘Location Field Defaults’ setting where an admin could select/enter specific locations for the location fields (preferably at a minumum the Country and City fields, perhaps others would find other fields useful?).
Then when a user comes to create an event on the front-end those fields would be pre-filled for the user, removing those superflous steps for them.
Having used Wordpress and plugins for specific events sites in the past, default/pre-filled locations are usually an available option for admins so this would bring the Events app on Invision Community in line with other major sites.
