The block - as a whole - is marked as requiring input, - the label 'Address' is marked with an asterisk (*) to indicate that an address is required.</p> <p>There is some confusion on the part of some users as to which of these fields is a required value. To make this clear to the users, I would like to add an asterisk to the labels of the individual required fields (Street, City, State/Province/Region, Zip/Postal Code, Country).</p> <p>Please could you advise me where any edits need to be made?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
