#Outlook 2016 contacts missing full

I need the full 'edit contact' form, preferably w/o extra clicks to get it. I find contact cards useless as, among other problems, they show a single phone # w/o revealing whether it's landline, cell, or other. I essentially never use People directly, always using the 'search people' box from within Mail or Calendar views. You'll also need to use the legacy GAL if you want to add digital certificates to existing contacts. If you've ever double clicked on an address in contacts and were frustrated when the new contacts card came up, you'll want to use the legacy gal dialog. In addition to using the contact form when adding new contacts from an email address, you'll get the older Properties dialog when you view address properties instead of the contact card, such as when you need to see if Send using Rich Text Formatting is enabled for an address. While you can't turn the contact cards off completely, you can force Outlook to use the contact form when you turn on the Legacy GAL dialog. They want to use the familiar Outlook contact form, not the contact card, when they use the Add to Outlook Contacts command. I had a couple of questions this week from users who hate the contact cards in Outlook, especially when they are trying to save a new contact. The bug from early 2021 is fixed in all current builds released after March 1.
