Suggestion: region restricted GA - better functionality

Some improvement to region restrictions would be highly welcome. I don't have specific suggestions, but when you get these random keys with seemingly arbitrary restrictions, it takes so much time to go through each one manually. Some integration to SteamDB seems to be the ideal solution, not considering technical implementation

Also I dont know what is the difference between Europe

Åland Islands, Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Vatican City

and Europe HB.

Åland Islands, Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, British Antarctic Territory, British Indian Ocean Territory, Bulgaria, Cayman Islands, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Falkland Islands, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, French Guiana, Georgia, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guadeloupe, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Martinique, Mayotte, Monaco, Montenegro, Montserrat, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Réunion, Romania, Saint Helena, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Spain, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Turks and Caicos Islands, United Kingdom, Vatican City

I would have loved your second suggestion a few months ago when creating giveaways for this: https://steamdb.info/sub/625030/ , it took ages! It would be really great if you could just copy/paste the space-delimited list of country codes to either include or exclude straight from SteamDB.

15 minutes of hard labour in the notepad salt mines. Obviously I did not test it much. Save as bookmarklet (for example edit the URL of an existing bookmark to match – or mark the code block and drag it into your enabled bookmarks bar and edit the tile).
The very first thing clicks 'Select None' / 'Select All' to have it more silly-person-proof; custom changes would be done after.

SG GA region lock ALLOW these countries

javascript:(() => { document.querySelector('[data-form-list-action=select_none]').click(); let cc = prompt('country list from SteamDB (space-separated) to allow','').split(' '); [...document.querySelectorAll('[data-input=country_item_string] > .form_list_item[data-name]')].forEach(el => { const c = el.getAttribute('data-name').slice(-2); if (cc.includes(c)) el.click(); }); })()

SG GA region lock DENY these countries

javascript:(() => { document.querySelector('[data-form-list-action=select_all]').click(); let cc = prompt('country list from SteamDB (space-separated) to deny','').split(' '); [...document.querySelectorAll('[data-input=country_item_string] > .form_list_item[data-name]')].forEach(el => { const c = el.getAttribute('data-name').slice(-2); if (cc.includes(c)) el.click(); }); })()

Countries that have different country codes on SteamDB than on SteamGifts would require more effort, and I can't guarantee this doing a ton of clicks at the same time is a good idea.

Yep some work in that section would be much appreciated.
A lot of people end up not giving away restricted keys or just picking their country to avoid having to check boxes for 10 mn so it's a waste.

I posted this userscript a while ago for the LATAM/MENA regions: https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/Bp2zMZN

You can adapt it to add your own preset for a custom set of countries, this should help if you often create region restricted giveaways with the same set of restrictions, just hand pick the country IDs once, and reuse the preset thereafter.

Note that you can do templates with ESGST. This included custom country sets.
