+# Mandatory Field Highlighter
+
+## Use Case / Requirement
+Highlight mandatory fields that are empty by showing error messages, making it easier for users to identify which required fields need to be completed.
+
+## Solution
+Two client scripts that work together:
+1. **onLoad script**: Shows error messages for empty mandatory fields when form loads
+2. **onChange script**: Updates error messages in real-time as users fill fields
+3. Uses proper ServiceNow methods instead of DOM manipulation
+
+## Implementation
+1. Create an **onLoad** client script with the code from `script.js`
+2. Create an **onChange** client script with the code from `onChange.js`
+3. Apply both scripts to the same table/form
+
+## Files
+- `script.js`: onLoad client script for initial highlighting
+- `onChange.js`: onChange client script for real-time updates
+
+## Notes
+- Uses `g_form.showFieldMsg()` and `g_form.hideFieldMsg()` methods
+- Follows ServiceNow best practices (no DOM manipulation)
+- Works with standard ServiceNow forms
+- Provides clear error messages for required fields
