Edit a contact on TB and sync

Have you used one of the intermediate pre releases and upgraded to the final one without an account disable-enable cycle? That issue was caused by one of the pre releases and should no longer happen (on a fresh sync). DAV or EAS?

I was on TB 91 with TBsync v3.x then upgraded to TB102.3.3 which caused the TBsync add-ons to upgrade to 4.3. No intermediate versions were installed. I can also reproduce this on MacOS with an identical upgrade cycle. Sync backend is EAS. I will try deleting my account on TB and re-adding, then testing again and let you know the result. Am about to go out so will revert later this afternoon. Thanks for the prompt reply. *Ian* ***@***.*** ***@***.***>

Where do you see the split categories? Are they already synced back to the server?

[hodgepig]

Hi, I deleted my account form TBsync and then re-added it. One it had synced I edited a contact and synced to the server. The category was corrupted/exploded just as before. *Ian* ***@***.*** ***@***.***>

This problem is still present: Newly added account in my TB (TbSync + EAS-Provider + CategoryManager, all in current version) to Kopano on server-side

Further observations:

• After adding a category (f.e. 'Personal') in Kopano WebApp, syncing to TB, changing something in TB and resyncing back: the category is also exploded/split into single letters.
• The adressbook-fields 'position', 'title' and more in TB do not sync to the corresponding fields in my Kompano WebApp: Some data is placed in other fields in the Kompano WebApp, some data of TB stays present in TB but is not visible in Kompano (and vice versa).
