Delete the field and again create it in same place.

@Aamir_Durrani I checked the issue from software and I found the same issue when type Oman. It’s only show Romania. And this field is not a linked field with “Country” doctype, It’s auto complete field.

So my two propose solution is as below,

  1. Hide this existing country field and add custom country field.
  2. Use “Property Setter” to update exist field type “AutoComplete” to “Link”.

Frappe HR uses an external package Holidays to get predictable holiday dates for countries. These are the list of countries supported:

https://holidays.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#available-countries

If your country is not listed here, you will have to manually add local holidays. If you are a developer, you can also consider contributing your country’s holidays to the original repository
