Just use phone prefix: "+1"

Just use phone prefix: "+1"

This does not work either. I'm running into the same issue. I have phone_prefix: "+1" but it sets the country code to +0 and sets the phone number to +1. It looks like the linkedin_easy_applier._handle_dropdown_fields() is unused, which is what seems to be originally meant for handling this specific logic. Instead, _find_and_handle_dropdown_question() is what is filling in this section incorrectly.

Please either use the _handle_dropdown_fields() method or move the logic to _find_and_handle_dropdown_question() for specifically handling phone number information.

Edit: upon reviewing this closer, it seems to have been fixed by using a different model and adjusting the prompt in strings.py to provide more clear instruction on answering questions. I went from using llama3.2 to granite3-dense:8b on Ollama.
