Hi, I have a question, is it possible to hide text while typing?, I mean, I need to ask a question when I can hide data, something like when typing a password.
thanks!!!
Welcome back @nazaret 
As far as I know, there is no way to achieve that right now.
For more clarification, do you mean:
Writing HAKAN as an answer, should turn into ***** right?

What you are asking for is the masked XLSForm text appearance, which is documented here. This is a relatively new feature, so you may not have noticed it, but is available in the current version of the KoboCollect app.
Masked.xlsx (18.1 KB)
It is not supported by Enketo yet, however, so if you fill in the form via the browser interface your text will not be hidden, and the masked appearance will basically be ignored. [this is the ticket to add support for masked in Enketo].
Please note, this only visibly hides the text in the KoboCollect UI - the raw text is still there in the form (hence can be read by other things, like constraints…) and it will appear unredacted in the submission data.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to hide text while typing, especially for sensitive input like passwords. Most programming languages or form libraries support an input type like type="password" that masks characters as you type. It’s a great way to protect private or secure data. Just make sure to use it where needed to maintain user trust and data security.
