Custom Fields #3273

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

We have a client that is looking at moving from Contactzilla to Nextcloud. One thing that is missing is the ability to create custom fields for contacts. This is something they used extensively on Contactzilla and would be nice to have on Nextcloud Contacts. Thanks.

Describe the solution you'd like

Right now you can add additional fields of a variety of types. I would like to be able to create a general text field and give it a custom name.

Describe alternatives you've considered

You can do that by renaming the mime Types for the given fields in Nextcloud. But only so if you administrate the server yourself (if you have a hosted Server the Hoster will hardly give you permission to do so and fiddle around on Operating System Level). And-everything is back to standard Fieldnames every time a package (here:Contacts) is updated.

There was some interest for this in the past as well: https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/303 Hopefully this issue remains open so others can contribute if they have the skills.
