 * Rather than full addresses, I would like for the location field to just be a 
   simple short text field or a dropdown populated from simple short text fields.
 * Is that possible? If so, how would I go about doing that?
 * Thank you

 * I go to Events > Locations and add all my locations. Then when creating an event
   I can select from the list of locations by typing the first few characters of
   the location name in the location field.

 * I was not talking about the selection of the location. I’m talking about the 
   creation step.
 * My users will be creating the location as they need and none of the location 
   will be anything like a street address.
 * Thank you
