Hello :) If I understand correctly, you expect to have Jens Jensen displayed on your iOS device?

[sknsean]

Yes exactly :-) There is also an extra " before the "HOME" number. As seen here the First and Last name is empty

[skjnldsv]

This is an iOS issue then. If you look at your contact vcard, you'll see that the FN property is still set with the proper data. iOS have just decided to display the ORG instead.

First name and Last name are empty because you never set it on nextcloud. You need to add a detailed name property (N) on nextcloud. FN is the display name, and your device seems to ignore it if ORG is set :wink:. But I still don't know if iOS will prefer displaying the ORG or the N property then. Please try and report back :)

For the " in front of home, this is also an iOS issue unfortunately. This is correct, a vcard can have a TYPE="home,voice" data set, but iOS is somehow not properly displaying it :thinking: Can you try

Hehe, it’s not easy to fix things in iOS ;-). Will try to set first and last name, later and report back

Vcf when Contact is created from iOS

and it's properly displayed in iOS? If so then it's fine, but you should know that you will need to use the detailed name property and not only the display name one :)

[sknsean]

Yes it's properly displayed. It's also properly displayed when setting first and last name in nextcloud. Would it be difficult to change (aka. more difficult than to convince Apple to comply with the standard): TEL;TYPE="HOME,VOICE": to TEL;type=HOME;type=VOICE:

Issue is that if we do so, we might also lose compatibility with other softwares/platforms :) Also I think the library we use for that is bugged and does not support it properly. https://github.com/mozilla-comm/ical.js/issues/343

1107 for the VCF format.

I've brought up the company name issue before. Didn't end well.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity and seems to be missing some essential information. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Not stale. No missing information. Fix needed.

1107 for the VCF format.

[skjnldsv]

Sorry, forgot to remove the needs info label :) Though closing since for multiple types we have this: https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/942 And for the various vcf formats #1107

And regarding the FN/N misconception, well, that's how vcards works :man_shrugging: :)
