Mass-edit Contacts using Script Editor

When I transferred all my contacts from 1 mac to another mac, many of my contacts got "X-SHARED-PHOTO-DISPLAY-PREF:ALWAYS_ASK" directly added to the end of the phone #.

Please help me create an Apple Script that will look up all of these contacts and remove that appendage.

(I have an M1 Pro macbook 14" and using Sonoma 14.4.1, but that probably doesn't even matter.)

Thanks,

Adrian

I have the same X-SHARED-PHOTO-DISPLAY-PREF:ALWAYS_ASK appearing in different field of my contacts. It happens 1 or 2 days after importing my clean backup. Contact photos are disappearing too.

Does anybody know where the problem comes from?

Having this same issue along with missing photos from contacts (only on MacBook messenger); any resolution? My contacts are a mess trying to fix this missing photo matter.
