Limiting contact sync between Work Exchange Account and iOS Contacts

Corporate changeover to new security management software (now InTune) removed all company apps, calendars, contacts and mail from my device until the new software could be installed.


I've got mail and apps and calendars back working again, but the tricky one is my contacts. It is not appropriate for my personal contacts (lots of which are actually short notes to myself) to be showing up on my work outlook contacts/address book. But I do need access to those contacts from my phone for work use.


I know I had this set up well from a long time ago, so that my phone showed, under contacts, >2,000 iCloud contacts (all personal contacts plus my notes) plus about 300 only showing as 'work' and not synced to iCloud.


Anyone know how to repeat this handy setup? It was possible and functioning as of 72 hours ago on iOS26.6.1 and maybe even 26.6.2), if sometimes a bit troublesome per another of my recent threads.


The big picture is that I am not capable of consistently carrying two phones, I will always lose/forget at least one of them. Hence one phone with certain things ceded to work. But not all info should flow both ways freely.
