Incorrect Contact Names

[Dream-Cypher]

This may not be a "bug", but rather unexpected behavior.

It seems that when the export is matching the contact names, it is pulling the contact name from my Son's "ScreenTime" permitted contacts list, rather than from my actual Address book. For instance, even though I have my Mother's name entered in my contacts, it uses the name "Grammy" which is only listed in my son's ScreenTime contacts. I verified that I don't have that name linked to the contact at all in my contacts.

Is there a way to make the script prefer a specific Address book?

Thanks!

It's supposed to check the local contacts database first (~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb), and then the ones that I think are synced from iCloud (~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/*/AddressBook-v22.abcddb ). Are you familiar enough with SQLite to check those databases first and see which one has the contact name that you'd expect?

As a workaround, I saw in a closed issue, that copying all the icloud contacts to the local database might help, and it did...

I looked at those databases, and found that the one with GUID "5292D01E-B4B7-4666-B716-E565B4F6D99E". had the "incorrect" data.... I'm not sure if that is a GUID is specific to me, or if that is Generic...

The Correct Database appears to be GUID "6E9AB288-7ADF-4999-90BA-83711BC23C15"

Same issue here. @Dream-Cypher how did you copy the icloud contacts to the local db as a workaround? Thanks
