i have contacts with middle names and for the love of god i cannot delete the middle name field at all. i tap and hold on it and select Delete and in the UI i see it being deleted when the remorse counter goes to zero.

however, when i go back and edit the contact again, lo and behold, the field reappears.

from my observation, this appears to be caused by the field being present in a sync-ed contact. in my case, the contact comes from facebook.

the way this is currently handled is very irritating and confusing for the end user. if you allow delete, please really delete the field from the contact.

in my case, it is causing whatsapp contact names to be displayed wrongly (often with very hilarious results).

thanks.

[Bug] You can't delete contacts from sim! activate sim contact (show sim contacts in settings): Try to delete one of them, it seems to delete it deactivate sim contacts and re-avctivate it again :) wolaa! They are back! So delete is only hide them.

Our other jolla can't edit contacts with google 2 ways, They come always back and i found out, that if i have a person, let say Jarmo Timonen and i have linked all contacts undert that. If i go edit and he has like 4x same number and i delete 3 of them and then hit save/accept. When i re open the People app and edit Jarmo Timonen again... All numbers are back ;). Only way to fix this is delete one number and save/accept every time you have removed one number.. Sorry, must go, sorry if you have hard time to read this.

by the way, it doesn't just apply to field deletions. I have the same problem trying to empty the "First Name" field in a contact. I like to file my contacts with their full names in the "Last Name" field simply because I have a lot of Chinese friends and they write their names in the Last Name, First Name format. the rest of the Caucasian friends in my list go the other way around i.e. First Name, Last Name.

heeeelp!
