The required asterisk needs the
aria-hidden="true"attribute so that it doesn't get announced by screen readers.I discovered this issue since switching my input components to
<InputField/>caused testing-library'sgetByLabelTextto fail. That selector uses the accessibility tree (as pictured in screenshots) and looks for exact name matches, sogetByLabelText("Name")would fail as the name would be "Name *" and not "Name".I also fixed the broken InputField source link in the docs.
Screenshots
Before, asterisk was included in name property:

After, asterisk is no longer included in name property but still displays properly:
