Actual Results
There is no indication that the form field "User" in "Permission helper" and "Notification helper" modals 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
All users should be able to identify the mandatory fields.
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.
Also add aria-required="true" on <input role="combobox" ...> element.
<span>* denotes mandatory fields </span> <label for="a1">User *</label> <input id="id" role="combobox" aria-describedby="usererror" aria-required="true"...>
