"region is undefined"

[ryguy40]

I found a bug. Steps to reproduce:

1. Private window
2. Go to https://generatedata.com/
3. Choose "street address" and select any format
4. Open developer console (F12) and monitor the console for the rest of the steps
5. Add city
6. Add region
7. Add zip
8. Add country
9. Select "United States" in country selection
10. Change "Any region" on line 3 to "country row" to match the country (should be row Updated css for default theme. #5)
11. De-select "Full" format
12. Select "Short" format
13. On City row, change "Any city" to region row (should be row Add more error detail when database connection fails #3)
14. On zip row, change "Any format" to "region row" (should be row Add more error detail when database connection fails #3)
    ** A series of errors should appear in the console:

I am not certain all of the steps are necessary this is just what I logged in my attempt to reproduce. As I was going through, I'm pretty sure it relates to "short" region codes and zip code lookup. Like the zip code generator is expecting a full region name instead of a short name.

Good catch! Thanks for the detailed steps, I was able to reproduce. I'll look into this for the next release.

Happy to help. Great program. Been using for years (I used to have it installed on a local WAMP server and used it regularly) but I contributed yesterday for first time.

Yup, this was exactly right. Oops.
