have you watched here in the menu :
Content/custom/mail

The point of having it editable for the menu widget, unlike your contact form on a normal page, is because the form can't be added from any content section when used the menu. For your page, the [contact] shortcode is basically just a shortcut for the following code that you can also add manually into any page: Not making this accessible for editing from some custom editor, is because 1) Unlike the menu contact form, it can already be added manually like in the above. 2) Requiring users to add all the elements above for a simple form, without making any typos, including the hidden anti-spam fields, is a challenge, and would surely cause problems 3) Since X3 does not include an automatic form-creator from anything form elements you add, it does not make much sense to require the code above instead of [contact]. 4) Easier form creation- and integration will come, at some point down the road!! Thnx.

Can add another field such as phone?
And if so, how would the code?
Gracias

This is not yet possible, because it requires a script that can process and send any custom items that you add to the form. We will be adding this soon!

Where insert code ? In Contact page content ?

Exactly.

Make sure to keep the two-space indentation correct when pasting into the "content" so you don't get a "parse" error. Sorry, this content editing annoyance will be fixed shortly, so it is easier to write and paste content.

Works like a charm.
Thanks !!!
