When developing a survey its cool to see which questions are marked as ‘required’ through the use of *. But when the survey goes live people are asking me ‘why is there an asterisk on this question?’. Is it possible to hide the asterisk for a survey when it goes live?

Can you remove the 'required' * from a question (while it is still 'required')

Hi
If the question is marked as required, it isn’t possible to remove the *. You could add a note at the beginning of the form which states that any question marked with the * is required.

Life is a series of awkward moments separated by snacks.
Thanks Liz, I have used the note as suggested.
However this isn't the first time I have had this question. I wonder if in the future there could be an option to ‘suppress’ the *, in published typeforms… as removing it would not have huge significance to users as they do not know its purpose….
Sorry guys but this is super frustrating. What if every question is mandatory, everything shows an asterisk? The fact that this isn’t configurable makes zero sense.

I think it’s crazy that you can;t choose to remove the asterix (*) for required fields. Why is this not on your roadmap?

We’ll be moving off of typeform specifically because of this annoyance, sort of a bummer to see that this feature hasn’t moved in two years. Couldn’t possibly take more than a week to implement.
I think the issue is less that it can’t be done (it’s a simple enough tweak), it seems the issue is that they don’t want to make the change.
