Updating the "Location" field

Question

I have a Trello card that has a "Location" field on the right hand side of the card (shown below).  I started this project from a template, so not sure if standard field.  In any case, I am not able to find / update the field using Butler or a bot using Automate.io.  I have a custom field with the address where I pull from a spreadsheet, and want a butler task to copy that address to the location when updated, so the ticket can show the destination in the map.  I can copy the field to the location manually, and it works fine - I just want the step automated.

Is there a variable name that I am missing?

I understand. Not many Trello users are using this in their automation. Http request allows you to call third party services to handle something you need. In this case it is to take the data from one card and update another. If this is critical for you, do contact me via my webpage on my profile.

That field is currently not a variable in Butler as the Map power up expects you to search a look and select from the suggested list of names. So to update from another source you need to us the api to update a card. Currently, I have the geocoding and update of card back to back but they can be separated easily.

Update : Now I have a separate module just to take the location from another card to the new card.
