Pull Request resolves #35252
when a required modal field is left empty, the field is now visibly marked invalid with this fix.
As discussed in issue #35252 for Articles - Categories the issue is no longer reproducible on current branches because Parent Category is optional there, but the issue stil exists on required modal fields for instance User Notes.
Navigate to users > users notes > create new
fill user field (select any user ) but leave the category field empty and click save or save&close
form is blocked with the erroe message :
"The form cannot be submitted as it's missing required data.
Please correct the marked fields and try again"
But the visible required field (Category) is not clearly marked invalid

Form is blocked.
Category field is visibly marked invalid.
