Is there a correct way to add an extension to a phone number? I'd prefer to have it as a separate field to make imports easier.

if you want a separate field on form, i would use combination of custom templates and custom php files. You can use existing phone field in civicrm_phone table to store extension. So may be you can store as phone numder - extension.. and when editing you should split on "-" .

That sounds feasible. I'll give it a go. Probably veering into something for the development topics but how do I override the saving of the phone field. I'd rather not have it write normally and then have my version of data writing.
