- Bold – Allows you to change if the caption is shown in bold or not,
- Caption – The name of the field displayed to the user,
- Disabled? – Disable the field removing the ability for users to input data,
- Hidden? – Hides the field completely from users,
- Required? – Forces the field to be filled out before saving.
