When working with the new field editor, it isn鈥檛 clear what fields have been assigned the required field status as the asterisks appears at the end of the field label:

In the example above, the second field SEO meta description is in fact assigned as required, however, there is no way of knowing this. Perhaps by simply placing the asterisks in the top-left corner (or something similar) is all that is needed to improve the UI:

Thanks for pointing that out! Managed to fix this without changing the position of the asterisks. Also added the asterisk to the field handle in the event that the label is hidden.

Craft 3.5.8 is out now with that change.
