Feature description
When adding a phone number to a contact, it has numerous labels (like Mobile, Home, Other, Custom, etc.). When adding an address to a contact, it also has labels like Home, Work, Other & Custom. However, when adding dates to a contact, there is only Anniversary, Birthday and Other.
Would it be possible to add a label called "Custom" when adding new dates to a contact?
(Since the feature already exists for Phone numbers and Addresses, I hope it's not too much trouble to add that feature to Dates as well.)
Thank you for maintaining and improving these apps!
Why do you want this feature?
This feature would allow us to add custom major life events/milestones, if desired, such as "First job", "Date we met", or even "Death".

I second this request since the AOSP contacts app has this feature and my calendar app shows different icons for different dates, e.g. date of death.
Hello, I think deathdate is a different property, but the custom labels for "other dates" are also important to me. I use that a lot. As my calendar displays these dates it is quite handy to keep track of related children that do not have a separate contact entry, for example.
