I have been a long-time Cardbook user and I am quite satisfied. Thank you for this great plugin.

The recent update has introduced an issue. I am using Windows 11, Thunderbird 128.6.0esr (64-bit), and Cardbook 97.7.

The problem that has just shown up with the latest update is that any content in the Organization or Title fields is now appended to the Display Name. There does not appear to be a way to choose whether this behaviour is preferred.

I see that there is also a button to disable the generation of the display name. I still want to generate the display name, but only using the Prefix, Given Name, Other Name, Family Name, and Suffix.

I discovered the "Template" feature, but it is not possible to set a default template. Every time I change a field, it reverts to the original template. Besides, I have 6500 contacts in my Cardbook, I don't intend to select the template every time that I edit a card.
