Hi Marc,
We were trying to give admin info to a couple different locations with the same name (Ledeberg) in Belgium so they would be properly differentiated.
For the smaller of the two Lederberg:
- we gave it the proper admin 2 (Flemish Brabant)
- To figure out the admin 3 we checked on Wikipedia and we looked at its neighbor, both point to arrondissement Halle-Vilvoorde, however that is not one of the options in the drop-down.
This is especially weird since its neighbor, with the same province, does have it as an option in the drop-down..
What do you think?

Hi ChloƩ

The dropdown list displays the admin divisions belonging to the parent admin. If two neighbouring cities have different dropdown lists then because they are not in the same parent admin division.

Best

Marc
