Displayed name field not automatically populated since vue.js

[j-ed]

Expected behavior

If you create a new contact and choose the "Detailed Name" property, the entered data should automatically populate the Displayed Name field as in previous versions.

Current behavior

If you create a new contact and choose the "Detailed Name" property, the entered data is not used to populate the Displayed Name field anymore as in previous versions. The Displayed Name field stays empty and need to be manually entered too.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Contacts app
2. Choose New contact
3. Choose Add new property and select Detailed name
4. Enter data into the Detailed name fields Prefix, First name and Last name
5. Check out the Displaye name field at the top of the record
   -> The field is not automatically populated

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #780 (vcard gender not working properly since vue.js), #307 (Improve FN/Name fields display), #506 (Option to display last name first), #529 (Contact search button and search text field display below scrolled list entries when list scrolled.), and #374 (contact field labels should always be displayed the the selected language).

Aaah, I can't find the other issue. Someone asked about this not long ago.
Basically we removed the feature because people wanted to keep track of this.
References:

• Sync existing contact not working #671
• First Name and Last Name do not get populated when only a Formatted Name is entered #458

Though we could make sure that:

1. we auto-populate the displayname field IF it still says 'New Contact'
2. populate the detailed name fields if
   1. displayname is not 'New Contact'
   2. detailed name fields are empty

I think, as long as no-one has entered any data into the display name field it should automatically be populated. It looks like your examples are covering all use cases.
