i have limesurvey 2.05+ installed. i am making question groups and putting questions

some of my questions are mandatory, but when i test survey there is no indication that a question is mandatory. only when i press submit an error message in red saying "this question is mandatory" shows under a question if i don't answer a mandatory question

i need to say at the top of each question group "questions marked with * are mandatory" then next to each mandatory question an * shows

i went to template editor, made copy of default template so i can edit then went to the css file of the template. there was a class for asterix which had display:none in it so the * are hidden by default. i put display: visible and deleted that line. still nothing

how do i make the * show?

Does the "*" show in the html source code?

What version of 2.05 you have installed.

Upgrade to the latest LimeSurvey version.

i have Version 2.05+ Build 141003. is this the latest one?

this is source code for a question:-

<div id="question1" class="text-short mandatory">
<table class="question-wrapper">
<tr>
<td class="questiontext">
<span class="asterisk"></span><span class="qnumcode"> </span>what is your name?<br /><span class="questionhelp"></span>

<span class="questionhelp" id="vmsg_1"></span>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="answer">
<p class="question answer-item text-item ">
<label for='answer794791X1X1' class='hide label'>Answer</label> <input class="text " type="text" size="50" name="794791X1X1" id="answer794791X1X1" value="" onkeyup="checkconditions(this.value, this.name, this.type)"/>

</p>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="survey-question-help">
<img src='/lime/images/help.gif' alt='Help' align='left' />please type your name here
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

I see - this will be fixed in the next build. See github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/...c8aecfff457d57912b38 for a fix.

i just have to update to the latest build when it comes out and the issue will be solved?

when will the next build be released?

Sometime this week.

under "Presentation & navigation" in "general settings" can u plz add the option show asterix or not and if it is ticked then the * will show for the mandatory questions?

There was a new release today: github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/...1fb9c304ee1e2d6c326e
