Selecting details to be displayed in the contact screen

I may have overlooked something, yet I can't see how to add/remove fields to be displayed in the contact screen (the one that appears after I tap a contact in the alphabetic list). For example, I'd like to get middle names displayed, as I've used them to store the patronymics for some of my contacts. Right now, I have to switch to the edit screen to see these. I see that another option is storing both given name and patronymic in the "name" field, but maybe there is (or should exist) a way to tune the contact screen?

Currently this isn't possible, but you could work around it by placing the patronymics in the 'nickname' field, that way they show up in a small font below the name and surname.

Yes, it works this way. I'm still surprised though, why middle names are not shown anywhere, not even abbreviated to first letters.
