Forms say which fields are required - Product News

Every form with a mandatory question now opens with "Fields marked * are required.", and screen readers hear which answers are required from the field itself.

What's new

  • "Fields marked * are required." An application, registration or milestone form with a mandatory question says so at the top, before its first field.
  • Required, from the field itself. Text, date, amount and drop-down answers that are mandatory now tell a screen reader they are required when it reaches them, as well as through the * beside the question.
  • Pop-ups take focus where you work. A confirmation whose body is only words now puts focus on its first button rather than on its close button.
