So here to would have 2 ways of indicating required:

- asterisk for fields that are always (unconditionally) required
- red outline for fields that are conditionally required

Which could work, and might avoid any annoyance that the moving goalpost of
appearing/disappearing asterisks would be. But the user would need to learn
2 different indicators (and possibly the difference between them).

If, in this example, the Phone Number is much more likely to be preferred
than the E-mail address, so that the Phone Number is selected as the
preferred contact methd by default, would this change your view?

Cheers,
Chris.
