Hello, I would like to see a mechanism to indicate that a field, combo etc will be mandatory. Currently, the asterisk (*) is one symbol commonly used for this in real programming. This might be a good start.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks St Clair

St Clair,

There are many difference ways to indicate a mandatory field so it would be difficult to provide a standard option. I think an asterisk placed in the label is the most common way. Here's an interesting blog post that talks about different methods: http://justaddwater.dk/2006/03/29/how-to-indicate-required-or-optional-form-fields/

Putting a red asterisk in the label is very simple in WireframeSketcher:

Required field: %(color:red)*%

You could create a reusable component with that and use it when needed.

Thanks Peter, I must have missed that small helpful piece of code. That is prefect form me.

Thanks a million
