Names disspear in edit mode and contact details view when contact has company field

[ph00lt0]

Since (one of) the last updates names are not shown when opening a contact and when editing the contact they disappear completely. Quite a critical bug I would say.

[tibbi]

send a screenshot of what you mean please

[ph00lt0]

As you can see the name row in the details does not appear.
Interestingly the name also doesn't start with 'I' but this is shown in the contact image.

In the list view the name and image appear correctly as well as in my default contacts app, which I had to enable again.

Just tested a bit further it seems this only happens when the contact has a company field.

Edit: the letter in the image is also from the company name.

Edit2: I basically have a contact with almost all my contacts as I like to keep track of that and search on people by company so this is rather inconvenient.

[tibbi]

well, why would the contacts name show if it has no name? It is a company

[ph00lt0]

I don't think you understand it. It isn't a company. It is a contact who works at a company?!
The list shows it fine, so it's isn't consistent anyhow.
The contact field can be used in two ways:

• Either only company name is filled (so it is a company contact (in that case you are right) and It would probably be best to show the name of the company on top.
• Name and company are filled (as well as optionally a position) and this is a human profile which obviously should show the name of the person (like it does in the list) and name of the company they work at.

I think you read over the fact that this contact actually does have a first and last name stored. The app just doesn't show it, well any other contacts app does.

[tibbi]

guess you have the contact stored multiple times and the issue is caused by duplicate contact merging. Just click on one of the bottom fields to edit another instance of the contact stored under your email, Phone or so.

[ph00lt0]

@tibbi sorry but this isn't the case. Not sure why you are closing this bug report.

[ph00lt0]

I store my contacts solemnly in my DAV5x server and any other contacts app shows this without any issue. I can see on the server that the details are correct

[tibbi]

I dont see any issue on the screenshots

[ph00lt0]

The fields are empty? the name does not appear? how is that not an issue? I am getting a bit frustrated here. Your app completely ignores the values stored in the contact, doesn't display them in either edit or view mode and overwrites them as empty on saving.

[tibbi]

names are empty because it is an organization..

[ph00lt0]

no it isn't, I do not know how to make this more clear to you.
I think you are mistaken what the company field is for: namely the company the person works at! It's simply an attribute. It shouldn't that if you use this the person is out of a sudden not having a name.

I hope you see the difference and the problem now.
