[FIXED] How do I add a Name Prefix to a Contact using AppleScript?

Issue

Apple's Contacts App had a defined field for a name prefix (e.g. "Dr.").

Using AppleScript if I retrieve the name property, the prefix is included. However, there does not appear to be/exist a prefix property. There IS a suffix property which I am able to read and write, but I need to be able to specifically WRITE (e.g. add) a prefix to a contact.

Any/All help would be appreciated!!

Solution

In the AppleScript dictionary (⇧⌘L ) for Contacts, look at the properties of the class Person.

If you have added a Prefix to the contact via, e.g., Contacts > Card > Add Field, then it is assigned to the title property.

Example AppleScript code:

tell application "Contacts"
    set theContact to the first person ¬
        whose title is not missing value
    return title of theContact
end tell
