Required fields in a submission form

When you “show new screen, form screen” you can make certain fields required and it’ll say that in a nice little greyed out text on the right for the user. Is there a way to do the same for a normal screen where I’m not using a form? Eg on a text entry field on a new screen.

I believe required fields are only available in 2 cases natively:

  • Form screen
  • Inline form which is a form in the middle of a screen. It is called a ‘Form container’ in the components pane.

A hacky way to do it is to add a component to a form screen with ‘Required’ selected. Then copy and paste the component outside of the form. At that point, it’s just cosmetic. It should keep the ‘required’ text, but if you have it on a detail screen, it won’t do anything to force a user to fill it.
