Steps to reproduce:

In the Edit Contact window, I clicked the Chat Name field in an address book entry, intending to add my friend's Matrix messaging address.

Actual results:

The UI switched to the Chat tab, which has blank fields for 9 specific instant messaging systems, none of which are the Matrix network.

Expected results:

It should either offer a field for a Matrix network address, or allow me to add a custom one myself.

Matrix addresses look like this: @username:example.com

"Matrix" contact type is offered, but when leaving the field or saving the type changes to "Other".
Nothing in Error Console.

Summary: Please accept Matrix chat addresses in address book entries → Matrix chat entry in address book not correctly saved

The placeholder says what the format to enter should look like. If it's not valid for matrix, it will change to Other.
Seems to work for me on Daily.

vCard (which is the format we use for the address book contacts) expects the field value to be an URI, so we expect a matrix: URI: https://spec.matrix.org/v1.12/appendices/#matrix-uri-scheme

I think this bug is from the old address book though.

Makes sense in context. Kinda user unfriendly though.
