[Feature Request] Backup contact labels assignments

[mooreye]

In GrapheneOS contact labels are used for contact scopes, but they aren't included in exported backup.

Thanks for reporting this. The problem is that contact labels ("Groups") are not stored in the main contacts database tables, but in a separate one, so we would have to query that table for the group associated with a given contact and then inject them into the exported data. Doing so should be relatively straightforward, but while I may add this at some point, I'm not going to get to it right away.

That would be super helpful 🙏

Any news on this? This would be really useful

Sorry, I have not yet done any work on this, and I have a couple of other things I want to do first, but I'll keep it in mind.

Don't know if this is the same for samsung phone call application, but there is also a "group" like feature, but not exported
I thought using "company" field to be able to share/save group information, but one really useful feature of group is to be able to assign ringtones and more (allowed ring time range, vibrate...) and this should be saved as well, it takes ages to setup correctly groups

(some question : I see lot of duplicated information like "contact_last_updated_timestamp" (likely will be the same for all entries) "account_type" "creation_time", "last_time_contacted"..... can't it be made uniq?)
