Hi.
Regarding the required fields, for example, If I have a multiple vertical checkbox, the required symbol (Red ) appears at the bottom of the list. This is not really a good visual indication IMHO.
Is there a way those red to be at the end of the label or at the beginning of the label?
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately there is no workaround for this.

Any directions for style the label instead? Maybe with :after Pseudo-element.

You can remove the Required field flag for that field and in the Javascript OnLoad event of the Add/Edit page, enter the following code:

var ctrlFieldName = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'FieldName');

ctrlFieldName.addValidation('IsRequired');


Then, you can add the required symbol (Red *) manually and place it where you want.

Thanks Cristian. The "bad part" is the manually you mentioned.
I'll ask a a suggestion for a future release.

In the Javascript on load event of the add/edit page:

var required_span = $('<span>&nbsp;* Required</span>');

required_span.css('color','red');

$("input[type='checkbox']").eq(0).next().after(required_span);
