Topic: sizing of form inputs when adding a required indicator behind the input
ikan_nak priority asked 5 months ago
Expected behavior
I'm testing MDB with a Struts 6.3 project to verify if we can use it for further development. I'm trying to make a form with input groups for a text area and a select, but I'm having some issues with sizing. My goal is to have a multiline textarea with an asterisk behind it to indicate it's required, and below that a select with a same required indicator that fillls the entire width of the form.
Actual behavior
The problem I have is that the required indicator for the text area shows below the text area if I don't put it in an input group, and the text area doesn't have enough height for multiline display if I do put it in an input group. And no matter where I try to put the w-100, the select won't grow to fill the available space.

Thanks, this solution worked. I had to adjust it a bit since our labels are in front of the inputs instead of inside them, but they now render properly.
