Request: Update the phone number field to support different international phone number ranges.
Proposed functionality:
- User selects their country from a drop down next to the Phone field
- User enters in a phone number according to the phone number format(s) of the selected country
- The system will store the number
Example/mock-up:
For Germany, an example number could be "+49 (7961) 9039 - 2424"; however, the format of a German phone number can be different from the example. Same could be true of other countries.
Reason for functionality:
Currently, clients with phone numbers that have formats unrecognized by the system are being advised to create a free-form text field for it. Having an inclusive Phone Number field will save the client from creating a new field to store basic information, which is an important consideration as the OW platform expands internationally.
