This is a simple question, but I could not find an easy answer.
I have a phone number field in my form, which I defined as an
integer. However, that only seems to allow for 9 digits. Is there
some way to overcome this? I do not want to define the field as a
string, since that sets the keypad to letters. Thanks!
yeah, this is known problem. if you mark a node as a number, we store
it in code as a number and thus must limit how big the number can be.
we should probably have a way to mark nodes as a string of numbers.

I havne't tried this, but since the capability to put multiple fields
on the same form, might it be possible to separate the area code from
the 7 digit phone number?
Of course, this might only work if your phone number is actually less
than 9 digits.
