We’ve been doing some modifying via page designer on request of our users and updating some fields on the Service Contract page as “Required”. Setting fields in a Wizard will highlight a required field in red if its left empty, but this doesn’t seem to be the case on pages that do not include wizards as seen here:
You can see the * next to the field name indicating its required, but even when blank its not highlighted in red. This is also the case for fields that are not custom.
Are the fields not being highlighted on regular views because they’re not required for creating the pages content such as in a wizard, or is there a way to get these fields to also be highlighted?
Thank you in advance.

Why Required Fields Are Not Highlighted in Red
In IFS Page Designer, marking a field as “Required” adds the asterisk (*) and enforces validation when saving the record.
However, the red highlight behavior is specific to Wizard pages because wizards are designed for guided data entry and immediate validation.
On standard pages (non-wizard), required fields are validated only at save time, not dynamically highlighted when empty.
This is expected behavior in IFS Cloud and not a bug.
Is There a Way to Enable Red Highlight on Regular Pages?
There is no out-of-the-box configuration to make required fields on standard pages behave like wizard fields.
The only options are:
Use a Wizard for the process where visual emphasis is critical.
Or apply custom client-side logic (via Page Designer scripting or custom events) to mimic the highlight behavior. This typically requires consultancy or advanced configuration.
