Feature description

Stock Android's Contact app represents the NICKNAME field in an idiosyncratic manner:

X-ANDROID-CUSTOM:vnd.android.cursor.item/nickname;Nick;1;;;;;;;;;;;;;

The request is to read this field properly by Fossify and then export it from Fossify in the standard manner, as:

NICKNAME:Nick

As a side note, Google Contacts does use the NICKNAME field properly.

Why do you want this feature?

If I create a contact in Stock, then I would like that to be read properly by Fossify.
