Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently in order to add an address, we need to fill out each field individually.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to be able to paste an address in a single field and then have the relevant parts of the address automatically parsed into the correct fields.

Alternatively, a single free form field for the address would be nice. Here's how Outlook does it:

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've considered just pasting the entire address in the 'address' field like:

Research direction

Start by examining the contact address form and its existing individual address fields. Resolve whether the intended outcome is automatic parsing into those fields or a single free-form address field, then define acceptance cases for pasting an address and verify the resulting contact data.
