Contact notes DISAPPEARED when contact was "updated". Please help

From my MacBook, in the messaging app, I recently clicked the offered banner notification to update the contact. When I did so, the person's contact on my iPhone lost all the note info I had accumulated. I often use the notes field in contacts for ongoing and important info. NOW ITS GONE! Oh, joy - the person's contact picture was updated yet all the more important associated note info is gone. This is not a helpful "update" option whatsoever. Can this data be recovered? How do I prevent this loss in the future / maintain the notes field in my contacts across iPhone and MacBook?

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
