In newer releases of webtrees, to reduce the size of the initial display of fields, only the most used fields are displayed, to expand to all possible field (as indicated above) you have to select the “Edit with all GEDCOM tags” option at the bottom of the page. About half way down you will see the phone and email fields.

Next to the buttons Save and Cancel is a link "Edit with all GEDCOM tags". Then you get a very large form, including those items.

These fields are used in frequently, and so hidden by default.

You can change this in: Control panel -> GEDCOM tags

Thank you all. I really appreciate how quick I got the help.

You need to add an event, such as Birth, first.
When editing the Birth, scroll to the bottom of the form and click on the text 'Edit with all GEDCOM tags'. This is next to the 'save' and 'cancel' buttons.
You will then see the Phone and Email fields above.

... or - as Greg already has said - add a residence (RESI) fact, and then the address/email/phone are attributes of that.

Hello.

After unchecking the "hide" options on the tags phone, url and email in the control panel, those fields are still not showing when adding a "RESI" fact to an individual and you still need to click the "edit all fields".button. I think this is a bug.

Am I right? It's a bug?

Thanks in advance.

Since I do mostly historic genealogy only maybe 10% of the individuals in my database would qualify for even having a phone number and much less than that would have an email address.

I would not consider this a bug because I rarely enter this information even for living people.

So I would not want these fields available for entry always only if I select for more fields!

So yes/no is it a bug!

As @norwegian_sardines said, it's not a bug. It's "as designed". It's that way because these are infrequently used sub-tags, so for the majority of users it is not an inconvenience to click "Edit with all GEDCOM tags".

If you do need to have those fields always available, for all your users/editors, then that can be achieved with the "Vesta Classic Look & Feel" add-on module" (See add-ons above here). That adds a further option after "Edit with all GEDCOM tags" to store the extra fields you want on that Residence screen permanently. Further discussion about the creation of that add-on feature is here: Customization of GEDCOM tag visibility

I get it now. So, the option to unhide those fields in the control panel  only permits or not to show them when "show all fields" is clicked: Noted. :D

Thank you for the patience.
