At the edit screen when I attempt to add emergency contact, it searches contacts, then gives me no option for selecting the contact as emergency contact. Anyone having this issue and how do I add the contact. This is potentially a very valuable feature, but I can't use it

Almost correct, IrishCowboy.
You need to add the Telephone number of the person to be able to add them in Emergency contacts.
Make sure their profile is complete in the normal contacts area and in the right place and they then will be able to be added.
Yes this helped for me. Thank you.
Deleting the linked contacts worked for me too. Clearly a bug - and a bad one.
Hello,
What I did was I clicked on the contact which has many numbers and I selected one of the numbers and it added it
This worked for me! Thank you!
I don't see a Linked Contacts item when I select a contact. I tried adding an emergency contact, in both Contacts/(me)/Medical ID, and Health/Medical ID. In both cases, when I tap the add icon, my Contacts list is displayed. When I select a contact in the list, the contact information is displayed. I do not see any way to add the selected contact as an emergency contact. iPhone 5C, iOS 10.
