How can I import Related name fields from contacts?

I am using the drag and drop function to get contacts into a table in Numbers. However, it does not seem to work for related names (no headers for those appear). Anyone experiencing the same?

arild,

That complaint has been raised here before. I haven't seen a solution, but I can offer a suggestion. Use the Notes field, which seems to always work.

Thanks for that.

I realise I can stick with Bento as I can add extra fields related to Contacts there and export my data from Bento to Numbers. I was hoping to have it all in the Contacts app, but there you go...

Hi aarild,

The other columns are there, but hidden.

In this screen shot, column labels jump from J to S (also jump from C to J). Click in the table to get Column labels to show.

Unhide all Columns.

Regards,

Ian.

Thank you, Yellowbox, but Related names are not hidden either, you see - among some others in fact. I suppose this is because it is a fairly recent addition to Contacts, can only hope for an update including this later. If anyone has a link to report feature requests in Numbers, I would be grateful if you can provide it.

Most (or all) current Apple applications have a "Provide application Feedback" link in the Application menu. That's the menu labeled with the name of the Application.
