Drupal should not use full CSS required marker in forms according to WCAG 2.0

Hopefully we can get this patch re-built and bring this change into Core.

I have attached the patch for 11.x-dev. As in the earlier patch #75, Classy, stable and bartik were updated. which are no longer part of core. I have updated the latest themes. please review

The last submitted patch, 81: 2921627-81.patch, failed testing. View results →

Alternatively, there's this approach https://adamsilver.io/blog/how-to-highlight-required-and-optional-form-f...

Just mark the optional fields. This would be a pretty huge change in the forms design though.

Removed some unrelated changes and added new tests

This is having to update existing templates. Is that needed?

If there really is no other way then a change record will be needed.

Adding reference to Windows High Contrast Mode.

#86: yes we have to update existing templates or the issue won't be fixed. Adding the tag.

Rerolled #84 on the last 11.x commit in a MR.
Here is the patch for composer.

This issue still needs a Change Record. Is there a native english speaker that could handle this?

Looks like STR is still needed.

Adding Novice tag so novices can find this for those todo items in the IS.

Are tests still needed, or can that todo item be marked as done?

This point about WHCM (aka, forced-colors) by @andrewmacpherson in #56 hasn't been addressed. Is that intentional?

I was chatting with @rainbreaw about another potential use for this is in Windows high-contrast mode. Instead of trying to get an asterisk to display in :after, Windows high-contrast mode could use the actual required text (i.e. don't hide it).
