Edit incoming call information

Is there a way to display more information than just first and last name on a incoming call? I have over 5000 contacts on my iPhone and more than one John Smith. I want to be able to know which John Smith is calling me by also seeing the company John Smith is working for or any other field of my choice. Thank you.

iPhone 7, iOS 13

iPhone Caller ID contact display When someone calls me, is there a way to change what information is shown on my screen? example: Currently it shows name and company, I would like to see name and department, because on my work phone, almost all my contacts have the same company.

Call Forwarding through Office to iPhone We can set up call forwarding from our office desk phone to our cell phone and it works fine for Android phone users -- they can see their contact name come through when the call is forwarded to their cell. But, for iPhone users, we only see the generic office phone number from where the call originally came through before forwarding -- we never know who is calling us. Has anyone had this experience and found a resolution or does anyone even have an idea of where to start researching a solution? We have heard that it's because of the way iPhones save contacts and transfer them when you get a new phone, so there are too many and it gets clogged up, but we have cleaned our contact list thoroughly and it still just shows the office number, not the name of our contacts.

Sharing saved contacts How do I share a saved contact with the last caller, if that caller is not in my contacts ? I am currently writing the last callers number down on paper, and then going to the Saved contact, and then share contact with the number I have written down. There must be a better way?

if company information is entered in Contacts for John Smith, then it's displayed during a call
