Description

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

Research direction

Start by tracing how the contacts app handles vCard properties and renders the email or other property labels, using the reported Thunderbird CardBook synchronization as the reproduction path. Confirm that a PREF value is recognized, displayed with the appropriate preferred-entry label, and preserved when the contact is synchronized back.
