Ability to show additional contact fields on incoming call screen #477
Add ability to choose what additional contact fields to show on calling screen.
Why do you want this feature?
It is quietly common for users to utilize second name field to differentiate incoming calls, that's lead to following names in contacts, for example:
Mike Dentist A
Mike Dentist B
John Plumber
John Driver
Karina Production
Karina Stage
First name goes to First name field Job, status, hair color, any helpful clues and etc... goes to Surname field, because that field is only that is showing up in call screen. Actually Prefix field is also showing, but that's unrelated to this particular problem.
But what if we add a feature to show additional contact fields on calling screen?
For example, if we choose to show fields Job position and Company, maybe it became easier to know who's actually calling? Especially for people who's working with many contacts.
Plus, we can utilize proper contact fields, instead relying only on Surname and Prefix.
While we still rely on the last name because it's the only second visible field in the contacts list, at least we'll have an extra option for incoming calls.

Absolutely, this blank empty screen is ridiculous.

I would like to see this feature as well. I would have submitted a feature request myself if this one hadn’t already been there.
