I just discovered that if there's two fields with the same name, Companion Outlook Sync will not sync the latest one.
I found this when:
1.) adding a phone number to the native phone contacts under a field name called "Mobile" even though the contact already had a field named "Mobile". (so now there are two fields named "Mobile"
2.) Syncing the native contacts with DejaContacts via "read android data"
3.) Syncing back to Outlook with CompanionLink
The 2nd "mobile" field was not synced to any field in Outlook.
There should be a better solution to this rather than leaving orphaned fields. People have to be aware when certain fields are not synced.
This leads to dangerous data lost, in case the phone is lost, users won't realize that not all information is synced to Outlook, and data is permanently lost.
