Description

There are 2 issues blocking use of International phone numbers in Drupal content.

Drupal limitations

The phone number field has built-in validation. That validation does not allow use of international country codes. Assuming that phone number standardization work has shipped / been enabled, in the world of the phone number paragraph legacy widget: We need to:

• Figure out where / what the existing validation is
• FIgure out if/ how it can be updated
• Provide a UX treatment that handles error messaging for international vs. domestic numbers (?)
• Update the Drupal interface for all relevant phone number fields

Fields where the change needs to be applied

Which fields need to support international numbers? Presumably all of them, on behalf of Manila.

• Mental Health phone number
• Staff phone number
• Billing & Insurance
• Make sure changes don't affect Operating status inline entity field (re: #19821 adventure)
• Support services

va-telephone DS component support for int'l numbers

The component supports "Numeric string representing the contact number. Typical length is 3 or 10 digits - SMS short codes will be 5 or 6 digits."

We filed an issue with the Design System to resolve this:

• https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/vets-design-system-documentation/issues/3222, now resolved
• https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/component-library/releases will display when it ships, should be in release after v48.0.1

This clears the path to update the FE.

We need to:

• Verify that the updated component handles presentation of the international number as entered into Drupal, not just from hard coding.
• Update the FE templates for any fields that will now allow international numbers, to use the updated DS component version

I looked up today and there are regional benefit offices and cemeteries abroad as well, so this is cross-product.
