Can't import contact with multiple numbers

[Michael Zanetti]

I have contacts that have multiple phone numbers. Importing them into Telegram doesn't work. Probably because the number they use for telegram is not the first one in the vcard.

Considering limited capacity, currently I can only assign wishlist importance. As a workaround, one can use the "Enter details" path to add such contact.

[Marco (jermy-07)]

Imo, importance shouldn't be assigned based on available capacity...

The current UI implies it can do something, when in fact it can not do it. So this is clearly a bug.

Also, if you are not sure if the contact has telegram, you are tricked into thinking the other person has no telegram at all.

I second Marco, this is clearly a bug. Nothing in the UI warns the user so it's not even possible to work around as one wouldn't even know what's missing.

Ditto! I was tricked for months into thinking that one of my friends was not using telegram at all, but just recently I found out he's using it for almost a year!

[Marco (jermy-07)]

Assigned karni to re-evaluate importance. (Sorry, it appears I can't do it myself)

[Michael Zanetti (mzanetti)]

Karni is not officially in duty any more. He obviously might pick it up if he wants to (*hint hint*), but we're not a position any more where we can assign bugs to him. In any case, I totally agree, this is rather a bug than a missing feature so I've re-prioritized it.
