In OutSystems, what indicates that a field is required?

In OutSystems, a red asterisk appearing next to the field is the standard visual indicator to signify that the field is required. This design choice helps users quickly identify which fields must be completed before submission, ensuring that forms are filled out correctly and that necessary information is provided.

The use of a red asterisk is a widely recognized convention in user interface design. It effectively draws attention to the specific requirements of the form, guiding users as they complete it. By highlighting required fields in this manner, the platform enhances user experience and reduces the likelihood of errors or omissions when submitting data.

Other indications, like greyed-out titles or warning signs, may relate to other states or conditions of the fields, such as being disabled or having specific constraints, but they do not specifically denote requirement status. Additionally, while error messages provide valuable feedback after submission attempts, they do not serve as proactive indicators of required fields before a user interacts with the form.
