Following the vCard format specification, it would be wonderful to add support for the CATEGORIES property (i.e. tags) to the address book. This is currently the only thing that prevents me from switching from the CardBook addon to the new native address book.
Note that categories/tags are properly handled in NextCloud.
For me this is the number one missing point of TB. Users of Nextcloud contact cannot use native TB contact features, and are obliged to use the cardBook extension, loosing some advantages of the native contact books.
I would also like to see the Native TB Address Book have Tags/Categories added.
For me, this would be beneficial in that I am currently manually syncing my contacts to my phone (mainly for Privacy & Security given my profession as I don't want my contacts stored on a remote server anywhere). As this is a manual process (one which I will also submit as an idea if not already proposed), it would be nice to tag/categorise the contacts that I have already synced so that I can manage my time & process better and not worry about duplicates.
This is one example of many that will benefit from this
when categories will be working, i donate 50€ Categories are the basic for me, to use TB 115 (now i work with TB 91 - the last version which can that with the "category" AddOn
Include export categories to .csv to import it to a list for newsletter mailing with the AddOn "MailMerge" If the devs have any questions, don't hesitate, i support you. Thanks in advance
Can you add categories to contacts. They have them for calender. I have thousands of contacts in Outlook that have categories. This is the one reason that I have not transitioned to Thunderbird over the years. Thought I would check to see if they resolved this.
Does anywhere read this post here - especially the devs? At the moment only TB 91 can categories with the addon - hope TB becomes in the future this very important feature.
