Support adding fields other than name and email address for contacts #323

What service (Calendar, Docs, Picasa) should be enhanced?
Contacts

What is the enhancement?
Support adding fields other than name and email address.  I'd like to be able 
to add anything I can query.

Potential syntax:
$ google contacts list --fields name,email,phone 'Test User'
$ google contacts add --fields name,email,phone 'Test 
User,test@example.com,cell 919-555-0000; work 919-555-0001'
$ google contacts list --fields name,email,address 'Test User'
Test User,test@example.com,cell 919-555-0000; work 919-555-0001

gdata-python-client supports adding or updating more than name and email 
address.

It would be most helpful, if googlecl could be used to do *FULL* backups _AND_ 
restores of Google Contacts; ie. it should be possible to dump and load also 
profile image, group association(s) and ALL the fields a contact has.

Yes.  Want to be able to write a sync script with bbdb so all fields can be 
update.

I wonder if the beta discovery stuff might work for you, since I believe 
there's a Contacts interface: 
http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/DiscoveryManual

(The syntax is going to be changing soon, FYI, but if you get it working now it 
should be reasonably easy to keep it working when it changes)

It would, indeed, be so incredibly helpful, if the ability to do full backups 
existed from the command line.

Moreover, it would be a tremendous help in making dynamically updated photo 
directories for organizations if the API allowed us to query the contact's 
image.

This *IS* related to the more general request for access to all attributes, 
properties, and fields for a contact for whatever reason we may have, be it 
backup, or for presenting it in another context or integrating Google contacts 
with other apps.
