            Bug ID: 475649
           Summary: Data loss when syncing Google contacts to Kaddressbook
                    due to missing fields, wrong mapping and edits not
                    saving.
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: 5.24.1
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY

1. Google >> Kaddressbook - many fields are not synced e.g. address, notes,
etc. and those that are get mapped to the wrong tags. e.g. "mobile" gets mapped
to "home".

2. Kaddressbook >> Google - new contact.  Fields are mapped correctly to Google
but don't stick on Kaddressbook e.g.  "Mobile" gets switched to "Home"

3. Kaddressbook >> Google - changed contact.  The wrongly mapped tags in
Kaddressbook from 1. and 2. now get mapped to Google.  Any tags changed in
Kaddressbook don't stick as in 2.  The fields missing in Kaddressbood from Step
1 get deleted on Google.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1.  Kaddressbook (or Kontact)  >>  add address book  >>  Google Groupware  >> 
authorize >> sync >> compare Kaddressbook entries with Google contacts.

2.  Kaddressbook  >>  create new contact with field name=Test1 and
phone1=1234-567890  >> tag phone1 as "mobile" >> save and sync.

3.  Compare the uploaded Google contacts version with the one in Kaddressbook.

4.  Google contacts  >>  create new contact with fields name=Test2,
phone1=0987-654321, address=xxxx >> tag phone1 as "mobile" >> save, sync to
Kaddressbook and compare both versions.

4   Kaddressbook >> edit the synced contact "Test2"  >> add new field
phone2=2244-345678 and tag as "other" >> save, sync compare as before.


OBSERVED RESULT

1.  All contacts synced to Kaddressbook are missing fields such as address,
notes, location, etc,.  The fields that were synced have incorrectly mapped
tags. e.g. "Home" instead "Mobile".  Changing the tag back to "Mobile" doesn't
stick, Kaddressbook reverts it back to "Home" after approx 1 second.  The
version on Google doesn't change.

2.  With the new contact "Test1", Kaddressbook changes the "Mobile" tag to
"Home" approx 1 second after saving however the Google version displays it
correctly of "Mobile". 

3.  Kaddressbook changes the "Mobile" tag of the new "Test2" contact to "Home"
immediately on download and the address field is missing.

4.  Kaddressbook changes the "Other" tag to either "Home" or "Work" after
editing the "Test2" contact.  On Google the "Other" tag syncs correctly but the
address field, missing in Kaddressbook due to the previous sync error, now gets
deleted.


EXPECTED RESULT

That all fields get synced and mapped to the correct tags in both the Google
and Kaddressbook versions, that edits made in one version are correctly
reflected in the other and that no data gets deleted due to sync or mapping
errors.
