[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-3450) CLI - avoid required attributes to be hard to see when using tab completion

Ingo Weiss commented on WFCORE-3450:
------------------------------------

As mentioned, I think colours + '*' would be best suited. If the terminal doesn't support colours, then the '*' should suffice. Maybe we can add a note mentioning that '*' attributes are required ones?

> This is follow up for WFCORE-2283 which marked required attributes by "*" when using tab completion. Still if there are many attributes, it's hard to see all required attributes, for example in:

> {code}
> it's not clear at the first look how many required attributes there are.
> Suggestion is to group required attributes together and then provide list of other attributes, for example on the next line. Another options might be considered as well. For example to show required attributes when double pressing <tab>.
