--- Comment #8 from Baldrun Orv <hi.kde at haeske.com> ---
My cat ran over my keyboard before I was able to change the text of my last
comment. Sorry for the repeated content. Unfortunately I am not able to delete
or alter it. So here I go again having my cat locked outside:

It has been more than 15 years since I originally reported this issue and
submitted a feature request, yet unfortunately, no improvements have been made.

I recently decided to give KAddressBook (as part of Kontact) another chance
because I truly appreciate KDE and its integration of various applications.
Currently, I am using Manjaro with Kontact version 6.3.2 (24.12.2), but I was
disappointed to find that the details view of a contact still does not display
all the information available in the editing dialogue.

What’s even more frustrating is that the situation has actually worsened.
Previously, users had at least some limited control over which fields were
shown in the details view. Now, that option seems to be completely gone, and
even website information is omitted entirely.

I understand that development resources are limited, at the same time this is a
long-standing usability issue that affects anyone who relies on Kontact for
managing contacts efficiently on a daily base. It would be greatly appreciated
if a developer could take a fresh look at this and consider improving the
details view to display all available information—or at the very least,
restoring the previous customization options in a less limited way it used to
be before.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
