i am not a developer and am looking for a way to edit the fields that are shown on the "New contact page". When users add new Contacts they use the below page to create them, one of the fields that is completed is "Lead Source" which sits on the Enquiry object. When a new Contact is created it automatically creates a new enquiry.
I would like to take the "Lead Source" field out and replace it with some different fields that need adding to the enquiry created. Can anyone help me with this ?
To me it seems that the standard New button has been overridden with some custom component (guessing LWC). Go to Setup -> Object Manager -> Contact -> Buttons, Links and Actions -> Row containing the New button -> Options -> Edit.
You can see if it was overridden on the list of the buttons or directly in the Edit section. If it was overridden, your only option is to make changes to the component itself.
You can edit the Page Layout for the Contact Object from the Object Manager menu in Setup. You should check the Page Assignments to ensure you are editing the correct Page Layout (if there is more than one layout).
Once on the Edit page, you can add and remove fields as needed from the layout - just remember to click save once you have completed your changes.
The Salesforce Trailhead site has a similar module on editing the Page Layout on Account - perhaps reviewing the steps for this might help you with the Contact object.

Everywhere I see, the person is asking to edit the new contact form and people are replying editing the Contact Object Layout. At least understand the question please.
