As well, phone entry should not include free text just numerical. Fir example we have had alumni enter 1-123-456-7890 (direct to me) which is not recognized in RE. As well need the ability for someone to add their work phone extension, currently having to do manually

Hello Calvin Chuang! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more examples of the phone number formats for different countries that you would like to see implemented?
- Are there any specific countries that are a priority for this feature?
- Would you like the system to automatically detect the country based on the phone number, or should the user manually select their country?

- Australia, UK, Germany, Japan, USA, Canada, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malaysia, India but ideally it would nice to generate the international codes for all even if the formatting isn't perfect.
- User should manually select their country. Then the "-" between the numbers would format to what is standard for that country. So example US would be +1 (which they select) then (XXX) XXX-XXXX.
