Events - Event Location - Limit to Business Locations?

We use Wix Studio and the Wix Events app for our public library website.

I’m trying to cut down on the time it takes staff to enter events. In our business settings (settings > business information), we have a default (our central/main library) and then our individual library branches, each as a separate/additional location.

Each time we enter an event (which would be one of four locations), we have to type in the address. To make it even more frustrating, Wix doesn’t appear to use my location (Northern Virginia) to narrow down choices as I’m typing, as the first address that shows up is in Ontario, Canada, have to scroll past 5-6 other streets in various states to find the one that we need. So basically staff has to type out almost the entire address in order for the auto-fill to populate.

I’ve used other event calendar applications (Timely for WordPress, Granicus CMS, etc.) and they all allow for you to set up a selection of locations to choose from. Very easy to just pick one of our locations and have it populate automatically.

I am not seeing this as an option in Wix, where we can just select from our locations in our business settings or even save locations in order to narrow down the choices, auto-fill. Am I asking for the impossible?

Thanks - I will pass this along to the vendor for Vega Web Builder sites (they are an enterprise customer). Ideally, no need to mess with the events.js and our need is to be able to choose from any of our locations w/out having to type/start typing out the address each time.
