# Pre-define coordinate reference system for coordinate attribute

Asked by Andras on 2019-02-11

Hi OF Team,

Is it possible to set the coordinate reference system for a coordinate attribute based on the Sampling Point Data (SPD)? We have 2 UTM zones (i.e. 2 SRSs) defined for the form and thought it could be useful to indicate the correct SRS for the user when it comes to a coordinate attribute especially if it's copied manually from a GPS unit.

Another question: is the SRS saved along with the coordinates?

Thanks for your help!
Andras
