Normally we advise our customers to let respondents decide if they want to answer a specific question or not. This leads to higher response rates and flexibility for your respondents.
However, in some cases answers are necessary in order to achieve the purpose of the form. For example, if you want to follow-up on specific customer feedback by phone and need to collect someone's phone number.
