address zone_id tax error

[DigitalShadow]

I appreciate this is not a current build, I have tried the search function but can't find an answer or similar bug report.

If a customer has an address that was created before a zone existed in the database for that country, a zone of 0 was placed in the database when the address was created.

Now since the customer created their address, a list of zones was created for their country in the shop and therefore they should no longer have a value of 0 in the database.

The problem is tax is calculated based on the store checking the zone and a value of 0 is allowing the customer to checkout without tax being applied.

A "fix" would be to delete all offending addresses, however is there a code based solution that would detect that the country they have chosen has zones and therefore a value of 0 is not allowed and alert the customer to fix their address in the address book.

If this has been fixed in a later version than 1.5.3, I apologise.

Not aware of a current automated "fix" to address this situation.

However, if you can get the customer to click "Edit Address" and simply click save to re-save their address, that should update the zone data for them.

35000 customers, there could be a thousand customers in this position.
