The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Problem/Motivation
Sometimes the address is empty or displayed without the country. This works with Drupal 10 and PHP 8.2, but not with Drupal 11 and PHP 8.3. Html::escape($country) cannot be null. Please add '#value' => Html::escape($countries[$country_code] ?? ''),

Possible contrib workaround
https://www.drupal.org/project/address_country_unknown provides an ugly workaround - would be better to solve or support this in the Address module

Comment #2
aaron.ferris commentedIsn't Country a required field, as in, the address itself can't be added without it?
Could you please provide reproduction steps in getting the country to be empty? Migrated values perhaps?
Not that this change isn't the right way, im just wondering if this being empty could have consequences elsewhere.
Comment #3
lazzyvn commentedNo country is a required field, in my case I am using a custom form with ajax so it can be null. adding ?? '' is not a big deal to avoid a falta error.
Comment #4
anybodyCounty may not be empty in the address module, I think. And I guess maintainers won't change that...?
We had a similar issue with contacts where the country is unknown (which is a real world scenario). Maybe this also helps in your case: https://www.drupal.org/project/address_country_unknown
Of course I'd be happier to have a clean solution in address itself! ;)
I'll change the title and category accordingly, because I think the bug is caused by custom changes?
