DSM 6.2 📅 One -way syncing ?

I ran across this in the Knowledge Center:

At first, this concerned me, but my test edits using the Synology Contacts WebGUI, are synced to my CardDAV clients.

So... what is this telling me?

Synology Contacts WebGUI, are synced to my CalDAV clients.

*CardDAV clients.

Scary to read indeed, especially the discussion we had in this thread.
I'm also quite sure it works fine in my environment.

It works on my side too.

The note is part of adding address books. It makes sense as it’s likely to be a published vcf/vcard which will be read-only.

I had this in a reply from Synology Support last year when I first tried Synology Contacts. I was using BusyContacts, a CardDAV macOS app. I had a couple of address books set up, a 'current' address book and an 'archive' one. On moving a contact from one to the other BusyContacts would give an error, complain about being unable to get a connection or something. I asked BusyContacts who looked at the logs and couldn't work it out. So my reading of the official Synology reply is you can't move a contact from one address book to another via CardDAV.

I gave up and installed the Synology CardDAV server but I'm coming back to Contacts as I know I'll have to one day. Otherwise it seems to be fine, syncing etc, just don't move a contact.

Mystery revealed. Thank you. That was entirely unclear in their Knowledge Center statement.
