Remarks
The MaskType property is defined on a field-level for the following field types: Code, Text, Decimal, Integer, and BigInteger. It can be used to mask sensitive information in the user interface, such as personal identifiers, financial details, or confidential notes. In the UI, a hide/show icon is rendered on the control that allows users to toggle between hide and unhide state.
MaskType can't be defined together with the ExtendedDatatype Property set to Masked, this will throw an error. Also, the MaskType property isn't allowed in repeater controls and in ConfigurationDialog pages.
Important
The MaskType property provides a lightweight UI-layer-only information protection, as the unmasked data is transferred to the web browser anyway.
