New Post: Office 365 update changes 'Display Name' on required fields- breaks cascades

This type of thing will probably continue, which will be a challenge for you and some of the value added functions. Also, I wonder if the word 'required' is localized; so if the locale/language is Dutch, will that word be different?

How about maybe finding the input by ID instead? The value for it seems to start with the internal column name, have the type at the end of the ID string and although I have not checked, I wonder if that UID looking string is actually the List internal UID? If so, and we can validate this is the convention, you may have a good alternative that will probably survive future UI changes.

(Note: that change by MS was probably one to better support people with special needs - specially those that use screen readers. )
