Hey there
Are you still having issues with this?
I’ve investigated this a little myself, and I’ve so far been unable to achieve this 
A user has noted their attempts with this using V4.1, perhaps it is worth investigating their attempts here:
(Granted, this is for a Custom Module, and not Contacts)
It very well may be that the functionality simply does not exist in SuiteCRM at the moment
If not, this would be worth raising as a suggestion ticket on our Github repo:Sign in to GitHub · GitHub
(Or if anyone else knows how to go about this, that’d be great to share!)
