Redaction

Is it possible to redact text from a textField component? I found some plugins for document redaction, but this wouldn't be a document, it's a field that users can fill out and oftentimes will include sensitive information like SSN, account #s, DOB, etc and need to be able to check to see if it includes any private information and redact if necessary.

    What exactly do you mean "redact"?  I mean, what would the User Experience be, and what would you hope the end result to be?  Would the info be stored but just not shown?  Or just removed?  Or replaced with asterisks?  Something else?

    The sensitive information would be either blacked out or asterisks before being saved to the database. just the sensitive information within the block of text, I don't believe the sensitive information needs to be stored anywhere.

    I don't know of any automated functionality out-of-box that would be able to just generally discern "sensitive information" - that sort of thing almost always requires some human oversight.
