HI @DNC ,
As per your screenshot, it means that if Resolution code is filled , then Resolution notes would also be in red , which would mean it's a mandatory field.

red color indicates mandatory field and field is not yet having any value
gray asterisk means field is mandatory and field has value and you are ok to submit
Seems your multi-line has some value in it.
Did you check if there is a space entered in that multi-line?

If that field doesn't have any value then it should show red asterisk and if user is able to submit then it looks like a platform bug.
