Is there any way to add default fields so that new contacts will automatically have the field listed without using the “add custom field”?
I am trying to make all my contacts have the default field of “nickname” without having to manually scroll down to “add custom field” for each contact.
Is there a faster way to do this?
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12
Switch on nicknames
When you create a new contact, I want a “nickname” field to be added automatically, instead of scrolling to the bottom to the “add another field” line.
If you go to settings and switch on the nickname it will appears when you do a new contact. Have switch you switch it on?
Yes. It was the first option I tried.
However, the top three fields are always
First Name
Last Name
Company
i have to scroll to the bottom to “add field-> nickname” then scroll back to top to add it in. It is very time consuming and tedious, especially if I am quickly trying to get 4 or 5 contacts in quickly, and want to use their nickname for a “character name” (playing RPG)
i have been just putting into “company” but that doesn’t come up in text messages.... so I’m often left wondering, “who is Phil? Ah yes... Chondar Atop the Mangled Dead, Barbarian of the North”. It would be nice if it’s just a field that comes up whenever I create a new contact.
Yes apparently is the same for me. Add new field. Suggest feedback to Apple is the only suggestion I have now. See below.
How to change the default fields when adding a new contact?
