# Disable Empty Address record

Hi guys,

Nowadays, I did a walkthrough in the Power Platform Admin Center and saw the new feature setting for **Customer Address (Address)**. 

The feature setting: ***Disable Empty Address Record Creation.*** This setting prevents the system from creating empty Address records. If the create payload does not contain any address information, the system will ignore it.

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** Just only takes effect on 3 entities: Account, Contact, Lead, and will NOT affect any other entities address table behavior.
{% endhint %}

## Lookback: the previous functionality

The previous time, if have no this setting...

Behind the scenes, when you create an **Account/Contact/Lead** record and input or do not input any value into the OOB address fields (includes:  Address 1, Address2, Address3), the system will create 3 corresponding Empty Address records automatically and store them in the table **Address (customeraddress).**&#x20;

## Enable setting: "Disable empty address record creation"

After enabling the setting...
