Hi @Anonymous,

You can set the color of the text in a label in multiple ways after selecting the label by clicking on it:

1. In the formula bar, by selecting the Color property;

2. In the top ribbon

3. In the properties pane on the right side of the screen

Hello @Anonymous ,

Labels in Power Apps cannot apply different colors to their text.

You can either use an "HTML text" control and work with some html, or you can create a second label with the asterisk and make it red.

Hi @BCBuizer , 

Thank you for your reply but this is not HTML label control on the form. I have added the list form and I want to change label of column of the list. Please see the below screen shot for your reference.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

I understand you are not using an HTML control, but a label. As @WiZey pointed out, what you want is not possible in a label control. To make this work you either need to replace the label for an HTML control, or introduce a second label for just the asterisk.

Hi @BCBuizer ,

Can you please help me out to add a new label which could concatenate with the above text. Thanks a lot.

Hi @Anonymous ,

My question to you is why you named that column as "First Name *"

If you are using Form control for the Sharepoint list, then you already have the 'StarVisible' option there which is visible only when your field is required in the Sharepoint list.

You can simply select that and change its color.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Because our client wants the * after the label. I can move the * after label by setting X position. But problem is when I reduce the screen size, * intact on the same position but Label shrink. Please see the below screen shot before and after screen size reduce for reference. if * will also shrink with label then this will solve the problem.

HI @Anonymous 

If the label is shrinking, what you can do is, Set 'X' property of '*' to - Label.X + Label.Width

Try this & let me know if it works. Thank you

Hi @Anonymous ,

If you remove the label and then replace it with an HTML Text control which you give the same name as the label (to deal with the dependencies of other controls) and then set the HTMLtext property to the below, you should get the desired outcome:

Parent.DisplayName & If(Parent.Required && Parent.DisplayMode=DisplayMode.Edit, " <font color=red>*</font>")
