[Moved] 'How many people are you registering' should be required

[John.K]

We've been having a bit of a usability drive, sorry for the spam. Is there a status below trivial?

From a user perspective, the 'How many people are you registering?' input is a required field, and should therefore have the red asterisk for continuity.

However, we can't just add formRule required to the element, because behind the scenes a '1' is a value of nothing (ie: no additional participants).

So what's the easiest way of adding the 'required' class to the element, without adding the form rule itself? It would be great to push this back to core, rather than us just overriding it in our CSS, even though it is a super-trivial improvement.

John - i would encourage you to take this question over to Stack Exchange which is much more active than the forum now - see red link up in top right

Fair enough, I suppose this is more Q+A format =]
