In Contacts when you add related name it doesn’t keep what you selected

When I edited a contact. I added 3 related names. Chose Daughter and created Grandchild for two others. When I clicked save and looked at entry I saw it changed daughter to manager; (1st) grandchild to assistant and (2nd) grandchild to spouse. Re-edited it twice but it still went back to these.

iPad Air 2, iOS 13

IOS contacts “related name” limited to three options: Manager, Spouse, Assistant Hi - I see only three options in iOS Contacts, for ‘Related name’: Manager, Spouse, and Assistant. I always thought this was weirdly limited, but I just realized a lot of people have waaaaay more options to choose from, so it’s clearly just me! My iOS Contacts is linked to my Microsoft 365/Exchange account, in case that makes any difference, but IIRC there are a lot more contact linking options available directly in Exchange than just these 3, so I don’t think that’s related. Any help? Thanks!

Messages showing wrong contacts? Hello all! Updated to Ventura recently. Noticed in the Messages app, on my Mac Studio, all of the contacts there are matching the titles of family members in my son's contact list, and not mine. For example, instead of say 'Mary Smith' showing up, as it shows in my contacts, it's showing up at 'Grandma Mary'. Interestingly, my son's account is not attached to the computer where this is a problem. Is this an iCloud issue? Any ideas on how to resolve (to show the titles of my contacts vs. my son's when I send or receive a message on my desktop)? On my iPhone, the contacts are showing correctly, as well as on my other desktops. So I'm stumped.
