Feature description
Only contact number can be displayed in list view. Allow users to choose fields that are displayed in list view.
Why do you want this feature?
As a user that uses the app without merging contacts with the same name, I want to be able to know whether I'm talking to John Smith from accounting or John Smith from HR. If there was an option for fossify to automatically highlight the differing field stored in same name contacts in the list, I wouldn't have to accidentally call the other John Smith. Alternatively I can set the field Job position field as such and make fossify highlight that in list. No more people named as "john smith accounting" in my contacts. (PS this should ideally also be applied to incoming/outgoing calls in the phone app)
Additional information
The current behavior of the app seems to display in list view, the first number field added (could be either 'work' or 'mobile') even though these numbers are arranged mobile>work>... in the contact details, which is also kind of odd.
@Aga-C , this ticket still has the "triage" label. I'd like to try to implement it, but only if Fossify is likely to merge the changes. Should I just wait until someone makes time to triage and accept/reject this idea?
@bbkane Yes, please wait.
I am keen for this as well. I would like to see Organization / Company Name in the list view alongside the contact name
