Copy Required Field Text For Free

In your form builder account, click on any field in your Form Editor to open its Edit Field panel on the left side of the page. Tick the checkbox Required field and an asterisk will appear next to the label of the form field. The field is now required and visitors can't submit the form without filling it in.

Required fields should be indicated with either a symbol or text, not just color. When providing an indicator for a required field, it should be placed right before the form field. This allows a screen reader to read the indicator to a screen reader user right before the user activates the field.
