Description m.wege 2013-04-03 09:57:30 UTC

I am now syncing my addressbook via owncloud to my phone and visa versa. Android allows it to give custom labels to phone numbers. For example I use it, to use the label "parents" when the additional number of a contact is the one he uses when he is at his parents. Kaddressbook unfortunately does not allow those custom labels and does not even show the existing ones which come in via sync. 
It would be nice, if this behaviour could be changed. Showing the labels which come from other sources would be a first step, but it would be even better, if it would be possible to use Kaddressbook also to edit a custom label.

Reproducible: Always

how is stored this label ? :)
it's in a vcard ? etc.

Comment 2 m.wege 2013-04-03 11:56:39 UTC

I just checked. It is stored in the VCARD like this "TEL;X-Eltern:+4912345678"

Just found another thing: It appears that Android allows custom labels also for email addresses, messengers, snail mail addresses, companies, websites, internetcall and relationship. I do not know if this follows any standard. At least for some of them it makes sense to me.
