Description Joe Sylvester 2010-04-14 16:15:50 UTC 
Version:           4.4.2 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-20-generic

I change the telephone type from what it is (generally other) to anything else (home, work, etc), save the change by pressing OK. If I open the same record again, the telephone type is still the old value, not the new one. I expect that the change would have been saved and display the new type. It would appear that when the version of KAddressBook I used in Ubuntu 9.10 changed to the current version under Ubuntu 10.04, that the address book internal format changed and the current telephone types are fixed. I created a new contact and was not able to change the telephone type after I added original contact.

Tobias:
Thanks for the quick response. I am sorry that I opened this report. Apparently, bug reports that are fixed do not show up in the list of similar reports already opened. Is there any way I could download this fix? Apparently, Ubuntu Lucid has not picked this up.
Thanks,
Joe

You can take the change from the SVN revision mentioned above and compile
kdepimlibs yourself.
An easy workaround however is to not only change the type of the phone number
but also the phone number itself (e.g. removing last digit and adding it again).
This will trigger the save of both, type and number.
