exclude a addressbook

Hello,
I habe different addressbooks, synced from a CardDav Server to my phone.

One address book I want to exclude from showing within the contact view.
Going to "angezeigte Kontakte" (shown contacts), personal settings, address book in question, and unselect "alle weiteren Kontakte" (all other contacts), then OK , closed the settings but does not exclude the contacts from showing.

Going again to the settings, "alle weiteren Kontakte" is activ again.

And idea what's wrong?

Thanks

Ralf

Hello,
Do other accounts have the same problem? This data is saved in the contact database, and other apps or contact synchronizers can also modify it.

Hello,

it is quite confusing...

I missed the ability to check / uncheck the address book under "angezeigte Kontakte;Konto Daten". These exclude the unchecked address book, as I wanted for i.e. the Signal contacts.

But,

- even within google account contacts, there is no reaction seen on selections within "Personalisieren". A different between the CardDAV address books: "Alle weiteren Kontakte" will stay unchecked. But the contacts are still shown in the list...
Also the Signal address book can not exclude by not selected "Alle Kontakte".

- selecting "Angezeigte Kontakte;Alle Kontakte mit Telefonnummern" will take place only after a restart of DW-Contact.

Regards
Ralf

Hello
If you want to hide all contacts from an account, you can use the "Account data" option.
