Antonio,
In the object navigator open the block and the items into which you need to add a field. Then press the create button, which is the button with a green plus sign on it. This creates a new field. Remember that the 'database field' indicator is set to yes by default. You may want to change that to No if it concerns a nonbase field. Don't forget to add the canvas name to the item so that the field appears on the screen.
