Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

using to much time in scrolling in the drop down menu to add a new field

Describe the solution you'd like

as there is nothing to hide on the right flanc of the contact details,
why not spreading the fields from the drop down menu in a nice and accessible list of fields when the edit button is clicked??

Pick what you need:

Describe alternatives you've considered
  • clinking a new field automatically enters the edit mode and adds the clicked field
  • chose a default display of selected fields, and save it for oneself or the entire instance
Additional context

please, add to default the detailed name 🙏
it's compulsory for mac users 🍏

Done should include an agreed interaction design and an accessible way to add fields without repeated dropdown scrolling.
