Scenario is:

phone autoprovisions contacts among other settings.

i manualle create contacts.

when the phone autoprovisions again, the contacts i manualle created are removed IF there's changes in the xml file i link to in the new configurations.

It didn't matter if the xml had changed by having less or more contacts defined.

Can i do anything to avoid removing all contacts not in the xml when there's changes to it?

EDIT:
Is it intended behaviour deleting existing contacts prior to loading new ones doing provisioning?

Hello ,

Thank you for your feedback.
The result of this feature is by designed.
So, if you have new contact who need to add to the Directory , why not just add the corrsponding syntaxes in the existing xml files, and then autoP again ?
And if you want to remove the contact from the Directory, you also can remove the corresponding syntaxes from the existing xml files, and then autoP again ?

Best Regards

The directory is often controlled by a server.
You should not remove local contacts during provisioning. They should only be removed by Factory Reset.

Hello ,

I will feedback this question to our Product Department , and they will assess this feature and decide whether to add it in our next version or not.

Thx

as craigreilly mentioned the xml from autoP is on a server not controlled by the end customer, and the local contacts was an addition by the end customer.

Before we have a good solution, could you please
1.export the existing contact.xml from the phone.
2.Add the new contact to the existing contact.xml

And I have feedback your application to our Product Department. And still wait for their reply .

Thx

Will do, looking forward to a reply from Product Department.

Any news on this?
