1.3.1 / F87 for input fields with mandatory visual indication via pseudo-element

[JOP-Temesis]

Does the F87 fail test for the CSS override of a pseudo-element concern the case of an input field with aria-required attributes?

What are your thoughts on this?

@JOP-Temesis I believe we need some more context to properly answer your question. Can you please provide more details or an example?

In the meantime, please examine #3748 to consider whether the discussion there on the use of pseudo elements is relevant.

[JOP-Temesis]

I was thinking of this kind of example
where the mandatory field indication is in a content css and the input field with aria-required="true".

<label for="xx">my label <span>::before</span></label> #CSS content : "*";
<input type="text" id="xx" aria-required="true">

I don't see in which case the styles are replaced by users who could knowingly delete the *. For me users will use custom styles via aria-required

Sounds reasonable

We are in the process of assessing the removal of F87 via PR #2800.
