Not every field deserves an asterisk. This React pattern shows Label with Phone Number plus muted (optional) text—subtle indicator that this field can be skipped. Built with shadcn/ui Label with text-muted-foreground and font-normal, it's perfect for comprehensive forms with mostly required fields, reducing anxiety about completion, clear expectations, or any form where explicitly marking optional fields improves user confidence.
