3. For Text fields, turn Required on or off. New text fields start as required; a field marked required shows an asterisk.
4. Tap Submit. To remove the field instead, tap Delete field.
5. Tap Save in the editor.

Tips

• Signature and Initials fields are always required. The Required switch only appears on text fields.
• Signers cannot submit until every required field is filled, so mark "optional" answers (a second phone number, for example) as not required.
