Change Template preferences in Contacts on Mac

Use Template preferences in Contacts to choose the fields that appear on new contact cards. Existing cards aren’t changed when you edit the template.

To change these preferences in the Contacts app on your Mac, choose Contacts > Preferences, then click Template.

Option	Description
Add Field	Click the pop-up menu, then choose a field to add. A field with a tick is already in the template; to remove it, choose it again. (You can’t remove fields that are dimmed.)
Add	Click the Add button to allow another entry for a field. The Add button appears only for fields that can have multiple entries, such as Phone.
Remove	Click the Remove button to remove a field.
Labels	Click a label and choose a different label for the field.

To change the order of the first and last name in the template, use the Show First Name option in Change General preferences in Contacts on Mac.
