What options do you have?
Different field types have different ways to customize.

- Required: Makes the field required only for the roles you select.
- Read-Only: Prevents the user roles you select from making changes to the field:

Saving the changes
When you click Submit, that dismisses the pop-up. Be sure to also click the Save button to apply the change to your form.
By default, MeetMax applies these changes to both the Attendee and Admin versions of the form. You can disable that by clicking the check box:
