Bug Description

There should be an option which number should be dialed when a favourite contact is chosen from "Today's Scope". At the moment the first number entered in adress-book-app is shown (here: Tux@work). If a contact has more than one number you can edit the details but it would be more user friendly to get a checkbox (e.g. [*]) to define the number which should be dialed.

Tux

123321 [ ]
Work

123456 [ ]
Mobile

654321 [*]
Home

Another option could be the possibility to sort contact details in edit mode like sorting pages in "Today Scope".

We have implemented support for favorites number in the past. But we discovered that could cause some confusions for users. And we removed this option.

I will add designer team on this bug, they can explain the reasons that we decided not go on this way.

Like march already mentioned: A workaround would be if the users are able to change the order of a the phone numbers of a contact (see bug #1469508).
Then, the user can at least influence which number is used as favorites. Up to now it is always the first one. But which number is placed on top isn't deterministic.

Another solution would be to open the address book's detail page if a favorite has more than one number. Then the user can select which number he likes to dial. But this increases the time and complexity for dialing a favorite number.

This is not just an AB issue but seems to be more of a Scopes issue, reassigned to Paty because the main UX issue is on the Scopes side.
