Create an (international) phone number meaning
Hello,

Just as dates, (international) phone numbers are a pain to handle.

It would be awesome to have a "meaning" for it.

Hello,



Thank you for your feedback. We will consider it for inclusion in a later version of the software.



Meanwhile, you can use user defined meanings.



Best regards,

Jeremy

As @jereze notes there is sort of an advanced feature of dataiku dss that may be able to help you.  

If you have a regular expression (regex) that know what an international phone number looks like; you should be able to create a pattern based user-defined meaning. Here is some basic documentation. 

https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/schemas/user-defined-meanings.html

Do note this warning: 

Warning

It is not recommended to enable auto-detection. Enabling auto-detection on a user-defined meaning can cause built-in meanings not to be recognized anymore, and can cause notable slowdowns in DSS usage.

Please share any outcomes that others might find useful.

I totally get what you mean about international phone numbers being a pain. It would be so much cooler if they had some kind of hidden meaning or secret code. It's worth getting a temporary phone number in the USA. Just try searching for "usa temp number". Hope this still helps.ั„
