Make form validation errors more obvious for users
0%
Description
Currently, the validation errors are shown only on top of the page:
which makes very hard for the user to find those fields with errors, especially when there are multiple fields (how is in the case of an issue).
What do you think if we make those fields with errors more obvious?

It is a very common interface. And the issue form tends to have many fields, so Redmine should definitely have this feature.

I think that would be a nice improvement indeed. Though I'm not sure if the field label should be changed too or if the highlighting of the actual field (border) itself is sufficient. We might want to get some feedback on that as some users may have patched/changed the core in such a way that it has custom field styling which may conflict with such a change (however, such shouldn't block a change like proposed here).

Initially, I tried only the field (border), but because all labels are bold, it wasn't obvious enough for me. Anyway, any option works for me.
