Mobile Number - String property is not phone number

[neville]

Up through V14, we would assign a fake extension and set its mobile number to a shared park, i.e. SP1 and have the forward rule configured to ring both extension and the mobile number at the same time. This allowed a user to dial the extension and pick up a shared parked call or to transfer a caller to shared parking slot assigned to that extension.

In V15, you can enter SP1, for example for the mobile, but when you try to save it, you get the message:

String property is not phone number

Will this be changed to the prior behavior?

I'm still on v14 - but put SPx into the "External Number" field under forwarding rules.
Perhaps this will still work.

That worked. I will test more tomorrow.

This is a test system I am using to check out everything to make sure there are no surprises. So far, most everything is working for the majority of my client needs.
