Label
The text shown above the field. Make it clear what information you're asking for. Good labels are short and specific (e.g., "Email Address" not just "Email").
Placeholder
Example text shown inside the field when it's empty. Use this to show the expected format (e.g., "john@example.com" for an email field).

Toggle this on to make the field mandatory. Required fields show a red asterisk (*) and the form can't be submitted until they're filled out.
Options (Select fields only)
