Feature description

The stock Android contacts app has various extensions for phonetic names. In Stock, you'll see that the Name field has a drop-down (up arrow ^) that offers more fields, and then a "More Fields" link that provides even more, including:

"phonetic last/middle/first name",

Export from Stock:

FN:Prefix First Middle Last, Suffix
N:Last;First;Middle;Prefix;Suffix
X-PHONETIC-FIRST-NAME:PFirst
X-PHONETIC-MIDDLE-NAME:PMiddle
X-PHONETIC-LAST-NAME:PLast

Export from Google Contacts is the same:

FN:Prefix First Middle Last Suffix
N:Last;First;Middle;Prefix;Suffix
X-PHONETIC-FIRST-NAME:PFirst
X-PHONETIC-MIDDLE-NAME:PMiddle
X-PHONETIC-LAST-NAME:PLast

So the request is to add the X-PHONETIC properties as editable.

Why do you want this feature?

Consistency with the Stock contacts app, with Google and Apple CSV.

Additional information

Note that this request relates to:

Support Import of Apple & Google's vCard v.3.0 Extension, itemN.X-ABLabel. Fossify Supports these as "Custom"

and

Read and Interpret Properly Stock Android's "Nickname" field.

and

Support department field

and

Add option to edit structured addresses.

Most of these are already supported by the app (check Manage shown contact fields). Please check the app once again, and limit your feature request only to these fields that aren't already supported or there's no feature request for them (e.g. Department is already requested here: #168).

@Aga-C / Done. Thank you for pointing this out, and I'll also make a comment regarding the "Department" field on #168 .

How is the nickname different from the one already existing in the app?

How is the nickname different from the one already existing in the app?

It isn't. If you read the edited OP, you'll see that NICKNAME is represented differently in the Stock Android App, so when importing/ reading a vcard, the idiosyncratic representation would have to be translated.

[Aga-C]

If it isn't a new field, but it's only about importing/exporting, then please create a separate feature request. Let's keep this feature request only about missing fields, so in this case, it should be only about phonetic names.

@Aga-C / Thanks for sticking with it! I've split off the second issue, here:

#194

Another question: what is X-FILE-AS and how it should be editable?
