Add PREF Tag to properties

[volker-raschek]

Hello,
I use nextcloud 11.02. I synchronize my contacts about Thunderbird with the plugin Cardbook. The addon has the option to preferred some contacts entries when i have some multiple entries like some work or private email addresses.

When I synchronize the contacts to nextcloud and I open the contact, I can't see the tag work or private for the email address. I believe it's tagged as PREF and so it's empty in the drop down menu.

Could the nextcloud team implement the PREF option like the cardbook addon from Thunderbird?

Kind regards
Volker

As mentioned in nextcloud/mail#2514 it would be nice if this feature will get some more attention. 👍

It would be very crucial to me that this gets added. I started synchronizing my contacts from Outlook via CalDav Synchronizer, and that sets on the first suitable entry of each category (phone numbers, addresses, mail) the additional PREF type. Since the contacts app does not know this, there is for example a mobile number that gets synchronized into the contacts as type PREF. Since this is not a known type, it gets synchronized back to Outlook as "other number". So in my case all my mobile numbers gradually move to "other number" (every time i edit them in the NextCloud contacts without changing the type of the mobile phone from PREF to mobile). This is really bad.
I added a bounty to the issue, maybe this will make the issue more worthwhile.
