i just noticed theres no option for a feild type "phone number' nor any option for a text feild to validate as a phone number
would it be teribly complicated? would there be a way to do it without having diferent feild types and/or validations for internattional vs local numbers

This can be done, of course, but wondering how many phone number formats, world wide, it would have to cater for? And all the different ways of writing a phone number (spacings, country code in brackets etc.).

maybe the phone number feild could be a dual feild/ a dropdown to select the country and that in turn sets the format of the 2nd feild/
so if you select usa the input feild would have (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Will create an internal tracker for this so that its potentially on our 'to do' list.
Thanks

The problem with phone numbers is there is about 100+ different ways of inputting them. With Core 6.4.1 there will be a new "phone_number" validator for the form designer - it will just verify the characters entered are 0-9, -, (, ), + and spaces.
