            Bug ID: 365192
           Summary: kaddressbook corrupts or discards information in it
                    does not know (carddav)
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kdebugs at equaeghe.nospammail.net

(Kontact 4.14.10)

When modifying an addressbook contact from a carddav resource that contains
fields that are not known to kaddressbook, these fields are silently discarded
or corrupted.

Example:
* IMPP and RELATED fields are discarded.
* fields with group syntax (e.g., item1.ADR or davdroid2.ABLABEL) get
corrupted, i.e., the group (e.g., item1 or davdroid2) and the period get lost
(and also item2.ADR gets thrown away entirely) and sometimes duplication of the
first part of the label name (until a dash) happens. Perhaps kadressbook does
not know the grouping syntax?

kaddressbook should never touch fields it does not know! Just keep them in the
vCard as-is.

Reproducible: Always
