Hướng nghiên cứu

The payload names no source files, so start by reproducing the bug: create a contact with two birthdays, two anniversaries and an "other" event date, then export it to vCard and check which fields survive. Read the linked issues #85, #145, #154 and #187 to see whether the vCard date-label mapping is already under discussion. Done means the exported vCard keeps every event date, or the maintainers agree on what the spec allows and the app reports the dropped fields.

Affected app version

1.6.0

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

GrapheneOS 2026040800 (Android 16)

Affected device model

Google Pixel

How did you install the app?

Google Play Store

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Add a new contact with more than one birthday and/or more than one anniversary and/or one or more "other" event dates
  2. Export the contact or use the backup function

OR

  1. Synchronise via DAVx5
Expected behavior

All fields should be stored when exporting the contact to vCard.
All fields should be stored when synchronising/saving to a CardDAV server.

Actual behavior

When exporting / backing up to a vCard file, Fossify Contacts removes ALL events entered as "other". They're gone. That's it.

When synchronising to a CardDAV server via DAVx5 only one birthday and one anniversary is stored. All other birthdays and anniversaries in that contact are discarded. They stay stored on the local storage (the Android Address Book), but not in the CardDAV server. (Maybe multiple birthday and multiple anniversary fields are not allowed by the vCard spec?) I've tested with vCard v3.0 (Nextcloud Contacts and Radicale) and v4.0 (Radicale).

Screenshots/Screen recordings

Not provided

Additional information

I think this deserves some attention as data loss is likely if you don't have a backup of BOTH the CardDAV server and Fossify Contacts export/backup.

The issue is probably linked to:
Support all NextCloud-supported contact attributes. #85
Add "Custom" label to Dates in a contact entry #154
Support Import of Apple & Google's vCard v.3.0 Extension, itemN.X-ABLabel. Fossify Supports these as "Custom" #187
export does not export date field "other" #145

I will switch to the stock GrapheneOS Contacts app for now. It only allows adding a single birthday and a single anniversary, and multiple "other" and "custom" (name them yourself) event date fields. These seem to get synchronised correctly via DAVx5, but exporting the contacts directly from that app drops a lot of info too as it uses vCard v2.1

Edit: I think it's worth looking at https://github.com/Goodwy/Contacts. Their export system works as expected however they also allow multiple "Birthday" and "Anniversary" fields when adding/editing contacts which the vCard standard doesn't allow.
So: TL;DR: I use the stock GrapheneOS contacts app to add, edit and browse contacts and I use Right Contacts to automatically backup my contacts to correctly formatted vCard v4.0 files but don't use that app for anything else. Contacts are synced via DAVx5 to a Radicale server that supports vCard v4.0 (currently that requires a patch).
