Actual Results
There is no indication that the form field "Version name" in "Release" modal dialog is mandatory. Users are informed of the form fields being mandatory after the form is submitted with errors.
As a result, cognitive and screen reader users might not be able to identify the mandatory fields.
Expected Results
Provide the asterisk
within the label mark-up of the mandatory form fields.
Additionally, provide an instruction "* denotes mandatory fields" at the beginning of the form to ensure all users can access the instruction.
Code Snippet
<span>* denotes mandatory fields</span> <label for="ghx-release-name">Version name*</label>
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
