Highlight the mandatory fields to be filled in when a user enters create screen

[rbalamu2]

Hi Team,
I observe that only when the user clicks the create button, the user gets the message/alert to fill in the required fields. 
but we would like to highlight the mandatory fields before the user clicks the create button after entering the values for the fields (We know * is meant for that).

We have many fields which are ordered in create field, most of the required fields are placed at the bottom of the create screen so if the user gets an alert message to fill in the required fields as an alert that would be a help. 

Please suggest an answer

Hi @Sreenivasaraju P  - As you mentioned, the fields are already designated as mandatory by the red asterisk beside each field. That should be sufficient as it certainly identifies the fields. 

You will not be able to "highlight" the fields in any other manner. If they are that important or overlooked too often, then you should move those fields to the top of the Create form.

Hi @rbalamu2 ,

Go to the field configuration schema for the issue in the corresponding project and make the field mandatory. so automatically, * will appear next to the field name.

@Sreenivasaraju P - I know how to make the field mandatory but my ask is different. In Addition with field required. I want to highlight the fields which are mandatory when a user opens the create issue screen everytime.
