From memory address fields are not accessible by PCF components due to the way address fields work in the background .

Hi @Aboodhamwi95 ,
You could vote the Idea: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/Enable-binding-to-OOB-Address-Fields/idi-p/302387
There is also a workarround to it. It might work in some cases.
Best regards,

Hi @a33ik ,

Thanks for this solution, I update the form XML as requested, but the attribute is not being bonded in the code, this is my XML
<Latitude type="FP">address1_latitude</Latitude> <Longitude type="FP">address1_longitude</Longitude>
you can notice that the attributes object is empty

Have you placed attributes on the form if you have not - put attributes to the form and make them hidden.

Can you please post your Manifest File and piece of customizations.xml where you configure your control - I mean full control - not only longitude/latitude chunk?

                        Hello,
That looks good for me. What is the type of msdyn_externalaccountid field? Also what's the type of the form you want to use your control on?
