Etsy A/B Tests And Implements Required Field Labels
Here is a very tiny a/b test from Etsy - the marking of two product personalization fields as required using red asterisks. If I had to guess, I'd expect the effect on checkouts was probably very small if any (based on the pattern data so far). Perhaps this change decreased the error rates? Either way, it now looks like the change (B) was also rolled out, so there might have been some good from it.

0.5 Repeatability has been assigned to Pattern #109: Required Field Labels as evidence that it's getting better
Repeatability is a net count of evidence for or against a pattern. It’s how we can predict which patterns are better than others. :)

Naturally, this is to reduce errors. Users look at the product, they like the product, they click the ATC button. Error! ;θ) I recommend them to replace dropdowns with buttons. Asterisks are like a poultice on a wooden leg.
