Is there any simple way to get a list of the 50 U.S. states to be used in a dropdown of a field, other then by manually creating a custom list and entering every single one and sourcing the field from that list?

you can use the

State

as a source for a custom field

Thanks!

@Azi Here are SuiteQL queries you can use to get both states and countries: https://timdietrich.me/blog/netsuite-suiteql-states-countries/
