Create recent call as contact in a group?

Question

Create recent call as contact in a group?

I know we can use the number of a recent call to create a new contact or add to an existing contact. I also know that we can navigate to a group and add a contact to that group. How can we combine 'create contact from recent' and 'add to group' without requiring a sync with iTunes? It would be good if Contact edit could also add/change the associated group(s).

I believe that if you are working in contacts and then go to add one, it will add to the default contact group, or the last group you added someone to. I don't work with groups, so I'm not positive, but that is what I've read in past posts here.

Thanks for the reply. Since I was in the recent calls list, the group added to was the default instead of the desired. Hopefully, someone will see this thread who can update the iOS software to allow editing the group of a contact. It would certainly improve usability.

Edit: I guess this won't actually be solved until iOS is updated.
