  In my csv I have a field named "Communication style", which I wish to map to the respective field in "communication preferences" for each contact in CiviCRM (formal / familiar).
  
  Yet, while importing the constituents, on the "match fields" step 2, I don't see the "communication style" option in the drop-down.
  
  Which is the way to do this matching?
