This community suggestion proposes adding one or two standard phone number fields as a built-in user attribute in Easy Projects. Phone and email are the two primary contact methods for users, yet phone numbers are currently managed only through custom fields rather than being a native part of the user profile.
The idea originated from the Easy Projects Get Satisfaction page and was moved into the community forum for broader discussion and voting. Making phone numbers a standard field would streamline user management and improve consistency across the platform.
Why This Matters
- Phone and email are the two main ways to reach team members
- Custom fields work but add extra configuration steps for every instance
- A standard field would appear consistently in reports, exports, and the user directory
Current Workaround
Administrators can add phone number fields through the custom fields feature. While functional, this approach means phone data isn't treated as a first-class user attribute and may not integrate as seamlessly with notifications, exports, and other platform features.
