In Jira software workflows, I've seen an asterisk appear after Required field labels, and I've seen them not appear (reason unknown to me).  Most recently, I've seen no asterisks after fields I set as Required in transition validators.

If we consider the lack of asterisks, and lack of font color (red), as in need of eventual enhancement by Atlassian, is there a workaround whereby I can set the field name in red font and follow it with an asterisk?

Hello @Phil Bustin 

An asterisk will appear next to a field when it has been set as Required in the Field Configuration.

If it is required based on the presence of a Validator in a Workflow Transition, and asterisk will not appear.

I don't have an answer for you concerning changing the appearance of such a field in the transition screen.
