I am planning to keep some of the info in the original contact and all of it in the copy, where I would later add more. What is the best way to accomplish this.

    it's a text file, open it in textedit and copy the data you need out that way.. Jul 15, 2019 at 19:02

VCF files are just text files, so you can edit them in every text editor.

  • Right-click on VCF file
  • Select "Open with" and then "Textedit.app"
  • Change whatever field you want to change (N and FN are typical fields to change if you want to change the name)
  • Use "Save as" to save with a new file name

PS: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard#Properties for details about the different fields. Not all of them may be supported by Contacts though.

I ended up:

  1. sharing the contact with myself
  2. renaming the original
  3. adding the shared one
