We have 3 types of custom fields now: local, global and external. The local
ones are defined by the user inside KAddressBook and they exists only for one
specific contact. Their description is stored as custom attribute in the
Akonadi item. This has the advantage that when you remove an item, its custom
fields description get purged as well automatically. In <= 4.4 the custom
fields descriptions has been stored in a separated config file for each
contact, which lead to stale entries over time.
The global custom fields exists for all available contacts and their
descriptions are furthermore stored in a config file (namely
$HOME/.kde/share/config/akonadi_contactrc).
The external custom fields are those which come with imported contacts (e.g. a
custom X- entry from a vCard exported by Evolution). These fields are read-only
but are listed inside the custom field editor for informational purpose.
