@mdubakov and the team thank you for implementing this 😁

I had two questions:

**1. Validation**

Is validation going to be on the list of future improvements for this type or was this a deliberate choice? I saw in various places that validation is generally something that the team will be working on, but thought I should ask in regards to this specifically. I imagine validation is going to be quite helpful if/when we are also able to have external facing form-views (contacts, sales, CRM, etc.)

**2. Field Conversion**

Is there a process for converting existing text field to phone field? I’ve used a button to populate a new phone field with previous text data, but as new field types become available, it is really helpful to be able to just convert types.
