[Bug]: Required marker (*) not displayed on required select widgets

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description

When setting a widget to be required to have data, the new functionality should show a red asterisk next to the title of it to inform users that it is required.

For select widget types this does not happen - images attached show "Product Category" - a required select widget with no asterisk, "Brand or Item" - a text widget which is required and the asterisk is showing, and "Model" - a text widget which is not required.

The Required option is selected in the Validations section of the widget config - I have tried toggling it to see if it was something stuck, it hasn't helped.

The validation works - the widget "isvalid" is false until it has data in it. (State shown in screenshot too)

I have tested this in Waterfox (Firefox) and Edge and it shows the same in both. I have no ad-blockers in place.

Confirmed: required marker appears on Text widgets but not Select/MultiSelect when Validation → Required is ON. This PR #41735 fixes it by passing isRequired into LabelWithTooltip

@j0hnby can you please close this issue

Hi there @Arbab1308 - sure can, what release version should I be checking to verify it's done? The PR mentioned is still open and it's not in 1.99.

Hi @j0hnby — thanks! This fix isn’t in a release yet since PR #41735 is still open (so it won’t be in 1.99).
Could we keep #41734 open for now, and close it once #41735 is merged and the fix ships in a release? I’ll ping here again after it merges.
