'Shared' contacts don't shared the field names. If userA creates an entry with a 'custom' field of 'Company' as 'The Smith Company', we see this in the db:
contactId | fieldId | value | hidden |
1 | 7 | The Smith Company | 0 |
The problem is that other users do not 'inherit' that custom field: so other users seeing that record will see no description of the field name. Indeed, if another user chooses 'Company' from the list of fields to add, it will get a new fieldId:
contactId | fieldId | value | hidden |
1 | 7 | The Smith Company | 0 |
2 | 23 | Smith Industries | 0 |
It should, especially for the predefined (semi-custom fields, like 'Company' and 'Street Address', defined in lib/webmail/contactlib.php) 'share' these values with others instead of creating new fieldId's.
