Comment (by Antoliny):
Replying to [comment:3 Sarah Boyce]:
> When I test with a screen reader, the required input elements are
announced as required. So there's no missed information here
> Bold is not conveying meaning by a different color (which would not work
for color blind users), so I actually think we might be for this one.
> I will let the accessibility team make the final call here though
Sorry! I should have provided more information. For regular forms, this
isn’t really an issue, but for inline forms, even though required fields
are displayed in bold, the inline form itself is not marked as required.
This means that even if a field inside the inline is required when
creating an object, there is no indication of its required status (other
than the visual bold style).
The reason I focused on regular forms in the ticket is because,
personally, I think it would be better to have something other than bold
text some element explicitly indicating that a field is required. That
way, the information would be provided consistently to both screen reader
users and sighted users.
I suppose we’ll need to discuss further how exactly this issue should be
addressed.
