Hi,

first add a contact to an address book, after that add that contact to a
list. If you want to edit this contact, that is member of a list, edit
this contact in the address book, so the list gets automagically synced
with the edited contact of the address book. This at least worked for a
"foo and bar" test I've done right now with Evolution 3.38.4 on Arch
Linux.

I can confirm, that after adding somebody to a list, that isn't a member
of an address book, there seems to be no way to edit this contact, other
than deleting it and adding it again.

Regards,
Ralf
