Oracle Apex inconsistent asterisk side

Question

We found out that on different fields on the page the asterisk of a required field is sometimes left to the text and sometimes right to the text.

I'm talking only about the Appearance-->template-->Required and not about Required-above/Required-above-Asterick left

I couldn't find anything that makes the difference. Any ideas?

Answer 1

This is Difference I attached image, Required TextField has Label + * on left but in Required Above has Label with * Above Textfield enter image description here

Answer 2

I had the same problem after upgrading APEX from 18.2 to 20.2.

After investigation, I found out that in my case, the position of the asterisk depends on the Template Options of the region where the item is located. By default, the asterisk is on the left side of the label, but if you change the Item Width to Stretch Form Fields the asterisk will switch to the right side of the label. Of course, after that, you need to adjust the item width by using the item's Layout options like Column, Column Span, and Label Column Span.
