Outlook bug when creating a user defined contact form?

[Witzker]

Hallo,

I noticed this ever since I am using Outlook.

Maybe this is known, but I want to be sure that there is no solution for this issue.

Maybe you can simply follow the steps:

In a contact folder which is set to Outlook default form (I am using German version and try to find the right expressions)

Click on: New contact
If you now click on a telephone number field
a box is opened
which says "Check telephone number" with 4 fields

1. Country / Region: Drop down field,
2. Ort / Vorwahl etc.

If you Now Go to :
Developper tools: Edit this form
Add any field to the user form (I use "Abteilung" which means "Department"
In OL 2010 you find under code "run this form"
If you now cklick on telephone number field
Nothing happens
The original function is lost

Is there any possibility to get this function also in the edited user defined form?

Thanks for your assistance
Witzker

I see the same behavior in Outlook 2013 when i add a field to the front page, which causes the page to revert to the old format. I think the behavior is "by design" due to the conversion to the old format, but will double check on it.

It works fine if you add the field to p.2, and you won't lose the new look.
