Hey there, @tonloo65 👋
Sorry to hear about this! We spent such a long time debating if we should do this or not, but in the end we felt it was a much better experience. To give you some more context into our decision I suggest reading through this blog post about form usability.
If after reading through that you feel it’s an absolute deal breaker for you still, would you please share a link to your website? We can give you a little snippet of code to revert things back to how you prefer.
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for your response.
After reading the blog I can understand your decision.
However, I’ve just checked various forms on 50 random (Dutch) websites, none of them were using the method with marked optional fields…
Yes it would be much appreciated if you can help me to revert this change. The link to the website is https://www.rijschoolschipperen.nl/test
Would it be a good idea to add an option to the form style, so one can make his own choice which style to use for the required / optional fields?
Thanks,
Thanks! Try adding in this code snippet to revert things back to how you prefer:
div[data-happyforms-required] .happyforms-part__label span.label:after {
content: "*";
color: red;
}
Let us know how that goes 😀

Hi,
I’ve already closed this topic but I just found out that the text “optional” is still showing in the fields wich are not required. How do get rid of this?

Hey again @tonloo65!
this CSS snippet should do the job:
.happyforms-optional {
display: none;
}
Let us know how you go!
Hi, i’ve the same problem.
Sorry for this beginner’s question, but where should i put the CSS snippets?

Hi renjoy,
If you have a Childtheme you can put the CSS snippets in the style sheet of your Childtheme or else you can put it in appearance → Customize → Additional CSS.
Hope this helps you.
