Hi everyone,

Is there a way of using a scripted field(or something else) for adding a geo type field to each event?  
The Geopoint should be dependent on a part of a string fieldtype.

Thanks in advance!

You should ideally do this before index time, rather than after.

You _might_ be able to do it with a scripted field, it's outside my knowledge, but if you could it would be difficult and expensive.
