Contact Export - Column for each phone type (Work, Mobile, Etc)

Currently the export just shows multiple phone numbers for a single contact in the same column with commas between. There is no way to see if it's a "Work" or a "Mobile" number. It would be ideal to have a column for each phone number type.
That means you can not import multiple phone numbers from a spreadsheet and have them load into a single contact for the correct type of phone number.

Any Updates on this Phone Export/Import Issue?
It appears that the only way to get Two Phone Numbers Imported at the Same Time is through using Custom Fields for the "Other" types, as in Mobile Phone Number. Is that Correct?
And IF I Import to a Custom Field, can I "Merge" that New Data back into the Phone Field with the appropriate Category assigned?
Thanks.

Hi @John Wilson
Regarding exporting, the task is still in our backlog unfortunately as the team is working on other priorities. However, regarding importing. It actually is possible to import multiple columns of your spreadsheet to the phone nr field and assign the type. Take a look at this GIF below. It shows you can use the field multiple times during import and click on the pencil icon to set the type.

Yea this seems a very basic feature since a lot of us use SMS campaigns as well. Please advise earliest or a workaround.

@Keith Clark you can after your export use the split text functionality in google sheets or excel. You can use the comma as a separator and split the phone nr's in multiple fields.
