  1. Go into the web manager and open the menu 'Forms' 
  2. Select the form that needs a change
    If you don't know what form to use, go to the page first and check what form is used
  3. Add the new field to the form
    At the left, you will see all the current fields of the form. At the right, you can see a tab with the name 'Widgets', click that to open the panel with the possible fields. Pick the type that you expect and add it to the page by dragging it into the form. Position it in the correct spot to make sure it will be in the right place in the form. Example screenshot
  4. Press 'edit' on the new field
  5. Give the field a unique id
    Remember this unique id, because you will need to use that when configuring the email(s) that are sent. 
  6. Check the other settings
    1. Check the box with required to make the field required
    2. Add a label to the field, potentially translated
    3. The default value can be used if you want a default value in the form field, however, it is not required (usually not set). This will be an actual value that the user needs to change and if not changed, it will be sent as the actual value for this field.
    4. The placeholder is the visible text in the field used as a hint to the user on how to use the field. It will disappear once the user enters their own value and if left empty, then it won't be sent as a value. 
  7. Press Save in the pop-up
  8. Press Save for the form
