Id: Help user fill in Telephone Country Code

[jidanni]

Idea: not only suggest, but help fill in the telephone country code.

Here we observe "+886" is correctly suggested,

but then it "spitefully" disappears once the user tries to fill it in, so he has to type it "all over again."

Therefore it would be great if the "+886 " were already filled in in black, while the remaining example part were in grey.

If that is not possible, separate them into two entry fields with the country code preselected, and then combine the two when making the tag...

I mean the software already knows the very good guess for the country code, so it might as well help the user even further and not play "bait and switch."

@jidanni This is a fine idea, but please avoid assigning malicious intent to iD in this and other issues.

We're happy to hear about places where iD might cause aggravation and address them, but it is not purposeful so please don't frame it that way.

Looking into this, we can possibly use the wikidata value for country calling codes and even the wikidata value for local calling codes
