--- Comment #2 from zvezdin  ---
Thank you for the update. So it seems that this thread is essentially a
duplicate from the 2014 one you linked. In any case I am quite unfamiliar with
any of the technologies used in kaddressbook otherwise I could attempt
migrating the patch. Given how old this is already, what could possibly be done
at this stage to fix this? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one looking to use
kaddressbook as a frontend/editor of a cross-device syncronization of contacts
and it's a pity that such a small issue can disrupt this potential.

[kaddressbook] [Bug 415222] New: Kaddressbook no tags in exported vcard

[zvezdin]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415222

Bug ID: 415222
   Summary: Kaddressbook no tags in exported vcard
   Product: kaddressbook
   Version: 5.12.3
  Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
  Reporter: g...@zvezd.in
CC: to...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

Data is lost when exporting internal contracts as VCard. The internal .vcf file
managed by Akonadi for a specific contract contains a  'categories' field that
includes some information about the placed tags for a specific contract. The
exported VCard file (tested with either VCard 3.0 or 4.0) does not contain that
or any related fields.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make an arbitrary contact and assign tags to it within the application
2. Observe that the internal .vcf file indeed contains information about the
tags
3. Export the contact as a VCard 4.0 (works 3.0 too, haven't tested the rest)

OBSERVED RESULT

The exported .vcf file does not contain all all information about that
contract, including tag fields.

EXPECTED RESULT

The exported .vcf file should contain all information that the application
internally holds about the contact, including the very important, useful, and
supported by the VCard standard tags feature. The beauty of having a standard
is interoperability and data portativity and it would be great if Kaddressbook
allowed for that.
