Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Adding a new property to a contact could be improved. Currently, the property is added and sorted right away so the user has to scroll and manually look for the property input. This should be improved.
Describe the solution you'd like
We discussed two possible solutions during the design review:
- Scroll the view to the added property (-> this could be somewhat complex to implement).
- Always add new properties at the bottom and only sort them once when opening a contact.

Done means the newly added property remains easy to find without manual searching, with the final ordering or scrolling behavior matching the selected design.
