About the demographic form at the beginning of online experiments where you can ask whatever information from the participant, it says by default that “Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required” BUT I don’t know how to actually make them mandatory/or put an asterisk on them. Is there such an option? cause currently participant can just click OK (and start the experiment) without filling in the questions.

Description of the problem:
Hi @Laura_Pissani, to make required fields, add an asterisk (*) to the entry in the Experiment Settings dialog e.g.,
Now the participant field will need an entry before the participant can continue.
OH that was so simple! THANK YOU!
Hi, I have the 2022 version of Psychopy and I have to ask participants for their demographic information. How do I do this please?
You should go to experiment settings, should be the wheel symbol on the top panel. You will be prompted with a window in the basic tab. Where it says experiment info, it will give you participant as a default, but you can add full questions by clicking on the + sign (or delete by using -). So if you add “Age” or “What is your first language?” they will see that right before they start running the experiment. If you add an asterisk (“Age*”) then it will be a mandatory answer to start the experiment. At the end, you will see each field as a column in your data file.
