Missing type attribute in email field

[davide.marcellan@work.it]

Dear all, is possible to add "type" attribute for field "email" as done for phone numbers in contacts.
We need to move our customers from Google Contacts management to Espocrm Contacts and we need to migrate existing contacts to Espo but if we migrate now we lose all labels specified by our customers for email addresses.
Thank you in advance Federica

I am looking for this too a "mailto:" prefix, is it done in a formula?

Email field have a validation to check if it a valid email type so you won't be able to add mailto: directly to it. Not unless you remove the validation but then it will mess up with EspoCRM and you can't send email by clicking.

Two method I can think of, if you want to mailto: I believe in setting you can choose "use external email" then it will convert it to a Mailbox or the javascript will open your email program (not sure which method EspoCRM do).

Second method is to create a new field and use formula to Concatenation "mailto:",{{email}}
