Adding a Country Field

Country fields let you store country information consistently across your Bullhorn records. This field type uses Bullhorn’s built-in country list, so the values are always standardized and ready for reporting or compliance workflows. See our Country Codes spreadsheet for the list of country codes.

If you need a limited set of countries or custom country groupings, we recommend creating a custom field with a Drop Down edit type and entering your own value list instead. See Add a Custom Drop Down Field for a step-by-step guide.

How to Add a Country Field

1. From the Bullhorn Menu, select Admin > Field Mappings.

   • S-Release: Go to Tools > Field Mappings.

2. Expand the entity where you want to add the field.

3. In the Field column, type "customText" and press Enter.

4. Select an unused customText field from the list.

5. In the pop-up window, complete the field settings:

   Field Setting	Description
   Display	The label users will see inside Bullhorn.
   Edit Type	Choose one of the Country options: Country – Drop Down: Users select from a predefined dropdown list of countries. Country – Mini Picker: Users search or browse for a country using a compact picker. Both options use Bullhorn’s hard-coded list of countries and cannot be customized.
   Required	Selecting this option will make the field mandatory when saving the record.
   Hidden	Selecting this option will hide the field from the record layout.
   Allow Multiple Values	Choose whether users can select more than one country. Some field types do not support multiple values.
   Sort Order	Enter the number that determines where this field appears on the Edit screen. Sort orders must be unique. Leave spacing between fields (for example, 130, 135) so you can easily add more fields in between them later.
   Value List	Leave blank. Country fields always pull from Bullhorn’s built-in list.
   Display List	Leave blank. Country fields always pull from Bullhorn’s built-in list.
   Default Value	Leave blank. Country fields always pull from Bullhorn’s built-in list.
   Description	Optional; A short explanation that appears under the field to help users understand its purpose.
   Hint	Optional; helper text that appears inside the field in grey.

6. Click Save.
