Is it possible to edit a Contact Form?
-
WordPress.com makes adding a contact form really easy to pages. You can also add custom fields to it when adding. That’s great, but how can you edit the form once it’s been added. Perhaps I’d like to add a few more custom fields.
Thanks.

Go to > Dashboard > Pages > All Pages
Hover over the page title and click the Edit link. -
Perhaps I wasn’t specific enough.
When you first click on “Add Contact Form” in the edit mode, you are presented with a very nice “Form Builder”. As far as I can see there is no way to get back to the Form Builder to make any edits to a form that has already been created and inserted into the page.
The previous post just suggests the basics of editing a page. Unless I’m missing something there, that doesn’t allow access to the Form Builder to edit an existing form.

Perhaps you aren’t getting me. Once a page has been created you can edit it by using the instructions I posted above. Editing can include starting all over again to create the contact page with additional fields. Otherwise you would end up with creating two contact pages.

You say “Editing can include starting all over again…”. What you are doing there is simply deleting an existing contact form and starting over. You’re starting over. You’re not editing an existing form.
But what if you’ve edited the bejesus out of a contact form already. You’ve added 100 extra custom fields. You wouldn’t want to start over. You’d want to edit the form that you already have using the nice Form Builder tool that is initially presented when you first inserted the form. You certainly wouldn’t want to have to edit using the code that is listed in the body of the page.

I’m sorry but that is the best answer I can provide. Maybe Staff can come up with a better one. I tagged this thread for Staff to take notice of your issue and feedback.

You’re not editing an existing form.
Edit an existing contact form
To edit an existing contact form, simply click the small add contact form media icon after you’ve already saved a form. Your existing contact form will be loaded into the editor. Alternatively, you have the option of editing the shortcode yourself instead of using the editor.https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/#edit-an-existing-contact-form
