Description

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

I habe about 50 categories and my contacts are in up to 8 categories.
At about 2 years ago, the contact list had a marker or was highlighted and the categorie could checked or uncheckeck in the list.

If a contact has mort than 2 categories, it's not really possible to work with the nextcloud contact app (i use it at the moment with thunderbird, but want to like work online in the future - if your contact app would be able to work better with it.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the contact category-list interface and reviewing how categories are currently selected for a contact. Done would require an agreed interaction that makes contacts with multiple categories manageable and supports checking or unchecking categories in the list.
