Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Have your contacts synched between Nextcloud Server and your Android phone using DAVx5 (I use 'Version 3.1.1-gplay (301010002)'). Make sure that if you create a new contact on the server that it appears on your phone after a sync.
  2. On the server (through the web interface) change the address of a contact and make sure that it is saved.
Expected behaviour

It is expected that the change is propagated to the phone after a sync by DAVx5.

Actual behaviour

The change is not propagated to the phone. There is now a situation where the address on the server and the address on the phone are different for a particular contact. Even after a sync.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the contact-address update through the Nextcloud web interface and a DAVx5 sync, then inspect the contacts app's server-side CardDAV handling. The issue names no files or tests and provides no logs; done means an address changed on the server is received by the phone after synchronization.
