Contact Name is required
The contacts without a name are not processed by DecSync.
When creating a contact for a company, which includes only the company name and the phone number, for example, these remain in the Android address book and are not synchronized.
The entries are considered invalid by DecSync because they do not have the display name (FN field, I think).
In my opinion, either
a) the company should be used for the FN field, if no other names exist, or b) FN should not be required to process a record
I cannot reproduce this. When I create such contact it is correctly stored (with a FN), and when the collection is removed and added again it does correctly reappear. With which apps are you syncing, maybe the problem lies there?
One scenario that I can reproduce just using the phone is this:
- open Simple Contacts (supports vcard 4)
- create a new contact (just open the form)
- enter only the company name
- save
- check the number of records in DecSync
The number of Android records will be smaller than the number of processed records by one. Delete the new record in Simple Contacts and the numbers will match again.
I may be able to get some contact records from the backups, in order to reproduce other issues. So far I've managed to clean everything up so this is to try to improve in general.
~~If I create a new contact in Simple Contacts I don't even see a Company field.~~ I see I have to enable it in the settings. After I do that it still works the same for me as the default contacts application.
I do see it now (see the edit). What is your DecSync CC version? It could be the case that it didn't work in a previous version. I think it works from v2.2.0 and higher.
OK. Just for the record as something else could be the culprit, then
The record, in the second screenshot, does not have the little head icon, which is a visual indicator for the field.

I've got v2.2.3 now. I think that's the current one on F-Droid.
