It's actually pretty easy to change from one display to the other for the required star with the new system.

Thanks in advance Daniel")* Hi, That's the case by default. If you don't have the asterix after the label, then it probably means that you have the "checkout legacy" setting activated in the HikaShop configuration and thus you're using the old checkout system of HikaShop where the asterix was displayed after the input and not after the label.

Thanks in advance Daniel")* Hi, That's why. This subject was about the display of the asterisk on the checkout. On the registration page, it still uses the old views of HikaShop 2 and thus the asterisk are still placed after the inputs. Changing that would require modifying the code of the files of the view "user" via the menu Display>Views. I'm sorry but I don't have an easy solution for that for now. We have on our todo list to do the changes on that view too in a future release so if you can wait, it will be handled in a future update of HikaShop.
