There was a problem hiding this comment.
While this cleans up the UI, shrinking the address to a single line breaks formatting for international users (specifically in the UK). Addresses often require multiple lines for Suite/Floor/Business Center details before the street address. I recommend keeping the multi-line support or using a textarea.

Thanks for calling this out – agreed that UK/international addresses often need additional lines. At the same time, there are also regions where a single address line is the norm, so I’d like to avoid presenting a large textarea by default (especially for candidates), since that can imply "write a full postal block here". Instead of only keeping multi-line addresses as free-form text, I can re-introduce proper "Address Line 2" support end-to-end. On the recruiter-facing side, I’d make Address Line 2 optional. For the careers portal, I’d keep it optional as well, so you can use it in your template if need. Would you be happy with that approach? |

Summary
Replace textarea-based address fields with single-line
<input>fields across the main UI and the careers portal and add “Address Line 2” (address2) support for candidates, contacts, and companies.Add schema upgrades for existing installations and migrate legacy multi-line address values into
address(line 1) andaddress2(remaining lines).Motivation
A large multi-line textarea often implies "enter a full postal block here" while many users (depending on country) expect a single street line. At the same time, international addresses commonly require an additional line (suite/floor/building).
