For a prompt to appear with the characteristics defined using this function, the prompt must be linked to a field in the Layout window, and the field’s Required property in the Properties window must be set to true. When a user chooses the Show Required Fields menu item, all prompts linked to required fields will appear in the specified font style and color.
Use -1 as a parameter value if you do not want to change that format. For example, use 1 as the font_style and -1 as the font_color to change the style to bold and to leave the color unchanged.
