    let store = CNContactStore()

    // phoneNumberToEdit is the CNContact which you need to update
    guard var mutableCont = phoneNumberToEdit?.mutableCopy() as? CNMutableContact else  { return }
    let phoneNumber = CNPhoneNumber(stringValue: "0123456789")
    var currentContact = CNLabeledValue(label: "MyCustomLabel", value: phoneNumber)
    mutableCont.phoneNumbers = [currentContact]

    let request2 = CNSaveRequest()
    request2.update(mutableCont)
    do{
    try store.execute(request2)
    } catch let error{
    print(error)
    }

Basically, there is no way to do that. Address Book doesn't let you add custom fields. However, what you can do is put your data in the "Notes" field for each contact. That will, however, look weird in apps other than yours.
