I have a few contacts with multiple phone numbers.  How do I set a DEFAULT phone number?  I am using Outlook as my contacts source and in Outlook, I can and did make one be the default.  But on the phone, even though it syncs information, it doesn't know what the default is.

 

I think on the phone Contacts app, I even rearranged the order of the phone numbers only to have it change it back later (not sure why).  

 

OR, if I can't set a default, is there a way to at least make it display the possible phone numbers and let me choose one?

Oh, I found it.  I had to open the contact and the slide it up so I could see the numbers.  Then long press the number I wanted as default.

 

So far it seems to have stuck.  We'll see if it goes away...

On my S22 the default selection I make does not remain. Next time I open the contact the old default is back in use. Any suggestions
