The direct answer
A form can require a value without explaining that requirement beforehand. Visitors should know which details are necessary and which are optional.
What to check
Inspect every required field visually and through its accessible name. Check that the required marker is near the label and explained before the form.
What to do next
Use consistent markers and meaningful labels, with clear optional fields. Preserve understandable error messages and do not rely solely on placeholder text or color.
