Donna Lyons was chosen as the Ride Contact. Waqar has helped us to set this up where the Ride Leader content type supplies the options within the Ride Contact field. The reason we need this to be this way is because the Ride Sweep field also uses the Ride Leader content type to get the options. The reason for this is because for the purposes of the Ride Leader Ride Count functionality, we needed counts for each time a Ride Leader is selected as a Ride Contact *OR* as a Ride Sweep. The two positions are equal as far as being included in the count goes. So this is how Waqar advised us to set this up so the count page could be created using the two views shown previously.
The relationship is the Ride content type is the parent and the Ride Leader content type is the child in a one-to-many relationship. That's because each ride can have two Ride Leaders (Ride Contact and Ride Sweep).

However, I now have the answer from my client as to what they prefer and their answer may make this a moot point now. So don't invest any further effort on this phone field yet. The client indicated that having the Ride Contact field as a filter for end users to use is MORE important to them than having the Ride Leader Ride Count functionality. That may mean that we have to give up on this entire effort if what Waqar said earlier is correct. I hope that's not the case partially because we'd still like to have both, but moreso because of the disappointment of this becoming a TON of wasted effort for all of us.
So their response here means that the Ride Contact filter issue now moves to being the one to focus on. If we can't solve that one, then we'll have to scrap this whole thing and I'll then have to restructure everything back to being within the Rides content type and set up in a way where I think I'll be able to handle it all myself from my current level of Toolset knowledge.
The Ride Contact filter issue is as follows.
First go here:

On that page, see in the right sidebar that we have Ride Contact as one of the fields that end-users can use to filter. The problem with this is the options within that filter are not populating with the Ride Contacts that have been chosen when the Rides are set up. If you look at the Ride Start County, Ride Start City and Ride Start Name filters, those are all correctly populating with everything defined in the existing rides. But the Ride Contact one is lacking most of the people designated as Ride Contacts. With the first two rides on this page, the Ride Contacts are Karen Mangliardi and Donna Lyons. But they are not present among the Ride Contact filter options. If we see them in the Ride Contact filter options, then I'll know it is working.
If we can get this filter working properly, then we can go back to looking at the phone field. The other problem we're having with applying a filter is not something that threatens having the Ride Leader Ride Count functionality. But this problem makes it to where we'll have to restructure everything back to being within the Rides content type and eliminate the Ride Leader Ride Count functionality altogether if we can't get it working. So there will be no point in solving the phone field issue as I'll then just move that field back to the Rides content type and we won't have to rely on a Relationship with that. I'll be able to get that working myself.
Let me know if you know of anything that can get that Ride Contact filter populating correctly the way this is set up. Waqar indicated that we'd have to move it back to the Rides content type to get that to work, which I'm taking to mean that we won't be able to have the Ride Leader Ride Count functionality after all. I'm hoping you have some kind of logic trick up your sleeve that will get it to work.
