Importing of contacts from vcf incomplete (loses meta info)

Importing contacts (from android phone ) via .vcf file loses custom labels for and the default number. I migrated from my samsung galaxy s2 .. expotred my contacts to a .vcf file Some of these had multiple tel numbers and each of these I was able to name arbitrarily (eg "mobile-old"), and one of which I was able to mark as default, so that if I call that contact or send a text message that number will be used preferentially. I really liked this feature and wish it was also available in Jolla. It seems such numbers were stored in the vcf as eg "TEL;X-Old:+4916316666767 TEL;CELL;PREF:+491575655421" Importing the vcf into my jolla lost all this "meta" data. It imported the multiple numbers for such contacts but not the custom name and not which number ws default (seems this is controlled by which number is listed first in jolla?) .
