      How do you get the State field to change to those in your country?

      ONTRApages and ONTRAforms do not have the ability to select the states to show in the drop down box (yet). For regular Smart Forms with state fields you can click on the field and then select to show or hide each individual state:

      We plan to add this functionality to ONTRAforms and ONTRApages soon.
