i try to generate QR Codes as digital vCards - you scan the QR Code and directly add the contact to your contacts on the smartphone. Therefor I just take the code of a .vcf file and make a QR Code out of it. .vcf file looks like this and in general it works fine:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//macOS 11.6.1//EN
N:Lastname;Name;;;
FN:Name Lastname;
ORG:Company Name;
TITLE:Fancy Title here;
TEL;type=WORK;type=VOICE;type=pref:+49 (0)40 123 456 789
TEL;type=CELL;type=VOICE:+49 (0)174 123 456 78
TEL;type=MAIN:+49 (0) 40 123 456 70
ADR;type=WORK;type=pref:;;Streetname 10;City;;123456;Country
item1.URL;type=pref:www.company.com
item1.X-ABLabel:Website
END:VCARD
This is the result after scanning with iPhone (iOS 15.5): Screenshot
The Company name and the job title are right under the name at the top, which is fine.
BUT as soon i add an email adress to it, the title and company name get replaced by the email.
Code with email here:

New Scan result here: Screenshot with email
Does anyone know how i can include the email but keep the company and job title in the contacts on QR Code scan???
I'm not able to figure out what the reason here is... Camera app bug? QR Code specialty?? iOS Contacts configuration???
Thanks in advance!!
This seems to be a bug in iOS. Once you add the contact to your address book, the Company Name will show up.
It is already visible on the creation screen, after selecting "Create new contact" and the bottom the vCard sheet.
