Hi all,

Just wanted to check if I'm being thick or if this is a change in iOS 8 (beta 4, iPhone) that introduces a problem. I will raise as a bug if the latter.

When you add a favourite who has multiple phone numbers, how do you specify which number you are adding as a favourite? The only options I get are Voice Call, FaceTime Audio or Facetime. If I pick Voice Call, their first number gets added as the favourite and I can't choose another.

- Opened a contact
- tapped add favorite
- List came up with mobile, work, facetime audio
- Chose mobile
- Clicked add favorite again.
- Mobile is no longer listed because its a favorite
- Chose work and it added it.

Ah thanks, you have shown me another way to add a favourite which is useful (in general, and as a work around for my problem).

I should have been clearer though - I was trying this from the Favourites screen and tapping the + in the top right to then selecting a contact. Can you tell me if you come across the problem I had from there? I'm pretty sure you *should* get the same list of options here as you do when adding from the contact sheet, but in iOS 8 it's not showing that.

Thanks

The workflow from there seems broken. It just adds a number without even asking you haha :)

Cool, and no obvious way to change it from there? I'll raise it as a bug, thanks!
