    We have a tax office and clients will be entering sensitive info. can that info be hidden in the text field?

    Unfortunately, we do not have an option to mask the field input.

    In a classic form layout, we can achieve something similar with injected CSS. However, the workaround will only work for Google Chrome, Safari and Opera browsers, since the text-security CSS property is not supported by Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    Example:

    css_selector {
    text-security: disc;
    -webkit-text-security: disc;
    -moz-text-security: disc;
    }

    I would like to add that you can get the CSS selector for a field via the field properties:
