Cross Posting from <#C29J1BPM3>

We noticed that when trying to use SOAP for Customer Creation / Updates, we can no longer pass full "state" (providence) names for Canada customers.
(e.g. We used to pass "British Columbia" as the state name, but now we get `The country and state/province are mismatched, the country is CA and the state/province is British Columbia. Please enter a state/province short name that matches the country.`  This was working last week, but stoped working on Friday.

Has anyone else noticed this or seen any documented changes?

Did Oracle just broke this? This was working last Thursday and stopped working on Friday.

When I check the states table, State Short codes of some countries are showing in Chinese or Japanese... this is not following ISO as it should.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure something changed on the "backend"
We didn't change any of our account preferences at all recently.
Like you said <@U7A0KGURX>, this was working Thursday, stopped working Friday.

We had to build mapping tables in our middleware to convert "British Columbia" to "BC" (and for all other territories)

Feels like a bug tbh
