Bug description

Some contact randomly end up in my Recently Contacted here:

image

But whilst they are then it's impossible to edit them, which is very frustrating. What possible purpose does this serve?

I mean, I can see why Recently Contacted could be useful, but why lock them in read-only mode?!?

In my case, it isn't even people I have actually recently contacted (I guess because I'm using the SnappyMail app and not Nextcloud Mail), it's only people the Nextcloud Calendar has recently contacted (and yet, somewhat bizarrely, it isn't even all of them - someone I just added to an event is not listed, and it also includes at least one who I'm fairly certain I have not interacted with recently at all).

Note, this is actually reported here:
https://help.nextcloud.com/t/some-nextcloud-contacts-read-only/105957 but 1) that is now locked (as is the other one linked from that https://help.nextcloud.com/t/help-trying-to-understand-recently-contacted/86798/4 ) and it doesn't resolve the issue, and 2) there is not associated GitHub issue.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Go to contacts
  2. Click on Recently contacted
  3. Note I am unable to edit any of them
Expected behavior

I expect to be able to edit my contacts
