Requirements and ticket applicability are independent. For example, a VIP waiver can be required at check-in while an optional dietary question applies to all guests.
Checkout and check-in requirements are independent. This example allows checkout without an answer but requires it before admission.

​
Collect answers from every participant

In Design → Widget → Checkout → Attendee information, enable Collect attendee details for each ticket when every guest must answer individually. Test an order for two people and verify both attendee records. A required question alone does not establish whether the form collects each guest or only the buyer. For later completion, attendees need access to editing on their ticket page. Check both Allow Attendee Edits and the actual missing-answer/check-in experience before using a “complete later” workflow.

​
Maintain and verify questions

Use the row’s edit control to change a question. Use Delete and confirm to remove one. Recheck the form after changing choices or ticket scope. Test an empty required answer, an optional answer, a ticket that should not see the question, waitlist signup, a newly added dropdown option, and any waiver. For check-in requirements, test an attendee with a missing answer and then with the answer completed. See waivers, attendee details, and attendee exports.
