Updating Phone Number

For a Contractor to update an Employee's cell phone number, they have to update the phone number on the Employee page, then release the Employee from the Crew, then re-assign the Employee to the crew and 'Send Response'.

This is not intuitive  -  Is it possible for the Contractor to modify the phone number on the employee page and it automatically updates in Crew Manager?  ... or some simpler, more intuitive process.
