New issue 323 by edgewood73: Support adding fields other than name and
email address for contacts
http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/issues/detail?id=323

What service (Calendar, Docs, Picasa) should be enhanced?
Contacts

What is the enhancement?
Support adding fields other than name and email address. I'd like to be
able to add anything I can query.

Potential syntax:
$ google contacts list --fields name,email,phone 'Test User'
$ google contacts add --fields name,email,phone 'Test
User,te...@example.com,cell 919-555-0000; work 919-555-0001'
$ google contacts list --fields name,email,address 'Test User'
Test User,te...@example.com,cell 919-555-0000; work 919-555-0001

gdata-python-client supports adding or updating more than name and email
address.

It would be most helpful, if googlecl could be used to do *FULL* backups
_AND_ restores of Google Contacts; ie. it should be possible to dump and
load also profile image, group association(s) and ALL the fields a contact
has.

Yes. Want to be able to write a sync script with bbdb so all fields can be
update.

I wonder if the beta discovery stuff might work for you, since I believe
there's a Contacts interface:

(The syntax is going to be changing soon, FYI, but if you get it working
now it should be reasonably easy to keep it working when it changes)

It would, indeed, be so incredibly helpful, if the ability to do full
backups existed from the command line.

Moreover, it would be a tremendous help in making dynamically updated photo
directories for organizations if the API allowed us to query the contact's
image.

This *IS* related to the more general request for access to all attributes,
properties, and fields for a contact for whatever reason we may have, be it
backup, or for presenting it in another context or integrating Google
contacts with other apps.
