Confirmed. Same happens elsewhere with this widget - try Users -> Add Note (dont enter any data) -> Save...

The valid/notvalid is on the wrong element so it is not displayed

Tested on j5.4, I can’t reproduce this anymore.
The Parent Category is no longer required after this #37116 PR. so this specific case appears resolved on current branches.

this issue can be closed as fixed ?

The problem is still present - when you have a required category field and its empty then it doesnt get marked

You can still see this on User Notes
