Ability to synchronize "custom fields" in CardDAV to selected outlook fields (via some sort of "map") would be very interesting. This would allow, also, to sync Outlook non-standard fields.

    This is already available for appointments and tasks but missing for contacts, it should be possible yes but would need some time or sponsoring.

    I like to ask, if there are some plans about implementing this feature also for contacts?

    I just set up CalDavSynchronizer for a small office enviorment using nextcloud als a server - and they are unhappy about the Field "spouse" not being synced to nextcloud.
    It's no problem, the spouse is not displayed within nextcloud - as long as the contents of the field is synchronized between the outlook clients...

    Ciao

      Custom mapping adds support for mapping custom outlook fields to X-attributes not regular ones. So we just need to implement mapping of Outlook spouse to X-SPOUSE for example. But as you said, Nextcloud itself doesn't display it so this was no priority yet.

    OK thanks.
    But it would be helpfull, if you could sync an outlook contact from one computer to another without loosing any (standard-) information.

    Maybe, we can support/sponsor the implementation?

    Ciao

    I have a client who's really looking for this functionality to support the use of Outlook custom contact forms with special fields. We're using SOGo, which does have contact fields like "Custom 1", "Custom 2", etc, but we currently have no way to make use of them.

    As a side note, is there documentation somewhere that lists exactly what contact fields CalDavSynchronizer DOES sync?
