Options that apply broadly

• Required — blocks submission when empty.
• Hidden from the respondent — captured but not shown.
• Read-only — shown but locked.
• Record location when answered / Record the time it was answered — stamps the answer.
• Validation pattern — a regular expression the answer must match, with your own message.
