Phone Number field Not Usable for Concatenating

I want to concatenate two fields into one. I want to add a custom "Extension" field to the existing "Phone" field. When I try to consolidate the fields using tokens, I get the error that I can't use Phone token for this purpose. Am I missing something? How do I accomplish this?

I was able to concatenate the phone number with its extension without error using the Change Data Value flow action as in the screen shot below.  Can you provide a screen shot of the flow action you are using and the error message?

I figured it out, I had created the Extension field as an Integer field, and apparently Integer fields do not work in these scenarios.

Thank you for responding, sir!

Good catch!  Mine is a string field in part because sometimes people include alpha characters in the phone extension field.
