        Yes, this certainly sounds possible. You can add custom fields to the address book, and you are able to programmatically add data to such a field.

        We don’t have any off the shelf applets that do this. If you are intending to develop such a system yourself, I would suggest you have a look at the examples available with Formativ Developer and Admin.

          Hi,

          maybe this helps. i received this code myself and i did not try out so far.

          Yes. Here is some sample code that lists the values associated with a user defined field in an address book of your choice.

          You will need to edit the value of the constants USER_DEFINED_FIELD to be the name of your field, and ADDRESS_BOOK_NAME to be the name of the address book you wish to access.

          I hope this helps.
