Hi Hoping somebody can help please? I am using Form Pro Stack and I cant seem to get rid of the Asterisk. I have tried everything but, it will not go away! Can anybody help please? Jilo [Screenshot 2020-08-26 at 07.55.34] [Screenshot 2020-08-26 at 08.01.32]

This marks the field as required. For a form, an e-mail address is required.

Jan Thanks for such prompt response. Client want me to remove it - any way to do this? Jilo

Thanks Jan for the feedback and forwarding to Elixir - assuming it will require stack to be modified and hence, for now I will persuade client to return text back. Thanks

The asterisk is not removable. As @Fuellemann points out it is to mark the required field(s) and thus is required so the visitor will understand that the form will fail if they do not supply this information. This is something you should have in order to make the form friendly to visitors.

I have to say that I don’t like asterisks in this context. Forms Plus also has them and (as far as I know) they can’t be removed. On a short form, it is quite likely that all the fields will be required and a line at the top saying this is clearer and neater. EDIT: actually I was thinking of FormSn…

The asterisk really should be there: errors which those filling in the form without it but don’t understand the reason for will result if not. As a last resort, presumably you could identify the element and set its color to the same as the background using CSS !

As I said, on short forms where all fields are required, it’s simpler to just say that at the top.

Yes, for the name you can select this in the settings. Not for the e-mail. You would have to ask @Elixir if there is a way to remove it…I tagged him so he gets a notice of this thread.
