when a field of a contact is updated in the csv file and imported, it is not reflected in the application. This will cause issues for users that want to edit the contact information in the csv file through excel, sheets etc.

Steps to replicate:

  1. Edit a field in a contact from the csv file
  2. Import into the app with the import command

While the behavior doesn't align with certain user expectations (e.g., updating existing data during import), but it doesn't break any promised or documented functionality. It simply reflects a limitation of the current design. Low Severity: The feature still works as intended (adding new data without overwriting existing records). Users can still use the feature, albeit with minor inconvenience. The lack of automatic updates is not a critical issue and does not prevent core functionalities of the app.
