Summary
I'm using date picker like the one below but it's never required. Users can submit the form with an empty datepicker, and additionally, when a field is marked as required in an input field, a red asterisk (*) appears above it, but it doesn't appear above the datepicker.
<Datepicker
required
title="Start date"
theme={customTheme}
showClearButton
showTodayButton={false}
className="w-1/2"
datepicker-format="dd/mm/yyyy"
onSelectedDateChanged={handleDateChange("start_date")}
value={formattedStartDate}
/>
Context
I tried in chrome, brave and safari and all has same bug.
