Hi Steve. When entering addresses, phone numbers etc, there is a ‘preferred’ radio button. Once checked it can’t be unchecked, but it does not seem to have any effect on anything. Could you please tell me what this is for? Thanks.

@ Ian

If you add multiple items, you can flag one as preferred. That’s all. The only place you actually see an item as preferred is when you edit an entry or when you click the Show Details link on the Connections : Manage admin page. It’ll add an asterisk next to the preferred item.

The idea behind the feature was if an entry had both a mobile number and work number , one of the numbers could be marked as the preferred number. It’s a feature that really doesn’t seem that gets much if any use so it has not been extended out to the templates.

I hope that helps!
