Feature request: Annniversary date synch #44

Anniversary date from the address book is not exchanged, could this field be added ?

Thank you,

Eric

I am not sure what the difference is, but from my experience the Birthday does sync, while the Anniversary indeed does not.

I use Evolution, and the field anniversary is usuall on the left of the spouse field. So easy to infer, that the wedding date.

Thanks for adding,

Eric

After I investigated a different issue I know the cause for this issue. Evolution does not really support the latest VCard version (4, used for exchanging the contacts) which added support for the Anniversary field. It uses its custom field, which is not directly compatible with other apps, instead.

I could work around it by adding custom logic for this special field, but I am not really familiar with that functionality so it won't happen anytime soon. It would be easier if Evolution added support for VCard version 4.
