For reports that list households (such as the Directory of Members), only household phone numbers (and household e-mail addresses, where applicable) will be shown. Individual phone numbers and e-mail addresses are never shown on such reports (which seems entirely appropriate to me).

Boomerbubba is correct! We now need new directory listing options or create the custom list...they way it is leaves us with problems.
But lets celebrate first with HT and VT calling supervisors churchwide, who now can call the number next to the name on their list and not have to say "sister jones, I called your cell phone again didn't I? It's this list, they promised to fix it soon...Well...while I've got you, did brother jones make it out last month?"
Thank you for this "individual contact number" fix!
However, it's a new but essentially the same problem for the "Household contact." The activities committee member who is using their directory for assigning pot-luck dishes for the ward party is an example. Who will answer the "household contact number" listed on the new directory? Let's hope not Brother Jones, he can't cook, and he will forget to tell Sister Jones he volunteered her for a pot-luck dish.
So, dial the new "family contact number," because that is all you have listed, and spin the wheel of chance..."brother jones, I see it's your cell phone listed as your families contact number? I kind of need your wife...Oh, she can be reached on her cell phone...can I get that number? I know we said this would be fixed...well...while I've got you, we do need some chairs set up!"
Yes, we are closer and we will be patient, and celebrate the small victories.
