Hi, I'm Anton, a UX designer at eLama, an online advertising automation platform. We work with forms quite often. We used to highlight required fields, but we saw the opinion that this approach is not the most correct one. We decided to figure out what was the right thing to do, but we quickly realized that there are no uniform rules: someone emphasizes the required fields, someone, on the contrary, says that some fields can be skipped. Let's try to compare the most common approaches.
