bulk update contacts to use preferred line

I have a normal sim and an e-sim on my iPhone XS. I sync my personal and business contacts to my phone using Exchange accounts. Is there a way I can update all of the contacts in one contact list to use my e-sim as it's preferred line, like do a bulk update? I really don't want to have to go through 200 odd contacts and update them manually.

iPhone XS, iOS 13

I think you’ve completely misunderstood my issue. I want to mass update a stack of contacts to use a different line instead of having to go through one by one

Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other

How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
What is your default Contacts Account?
Which email account you are using to store Contacts?

See the GIF below for Contacts and Default Account

This example is for Gmail but the process remains same for all Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
