Affected app version

1.2.2

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

ColorOS V12.1

Affected device model

Oppo Reno 4

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Have a contact added to the Phone Storage with email and/or note fields
  2. Have a contact with the same name in Telegram or WhatsApp
  3. Turn on "Merge duplicate contacts" in settings

Expected behavior

When I click on the merged contact I should see fields filled from multiple sources (Local Storage, Telegram, WhatsApp). In particular email and note should be the ones defined in Local Storage.

Actual behavior

When clicking on the merged contact I don't see email and note defined at all despite it being defined for Phone Storage (it is visible when you try to edit the Phone Storage contact).

If I add email/note directly to the WhatsApp contact then it is visible in the merged contact. But I want to treat Phone Storage as source or truth of emails/notes rather than WhatsApp/Telegram.

Additional information

Just to say I did enable email and note fields to be visible. And they are but only if I add them to WhatsApp/Telegram

The issue persists in version 1.2.5: Reminder: Option "Merge duplicate contacts" turned on in Settings; For a contact also present for WhatsApp, the fields "Email" and "Notes" become invisible. To make them visible, you have to check the "Pencil" icon to go into Modify mode and see the "Emails" and "Notes" fields.
