Answer 1

You have to add field with require as bellow.

for example in my custom module the field i have added in

Custom\News\Block\Adminhtml\Items\Edit\Tab\Main.php;

like

$fieldset->addField(
            'news_short_description',
            'editor',
            [
                'name' => 'news_short_description',
                'label' => __('Short Description'),
                'title' => __('Short Description'),
                'class' => 'validate-length maximum-length-100',
                'required' => true
            ]
        );

or as like bellow

 $fieldset->addField(
            'news_content',
            'editor',
            [
                'name' => 'news_content',
                'label' => __('Long Description'),
                'title' => __('Long Description'),
                'style' => 'height:11em',
                'required' => true,
                'disabled' => $isElementDisabled,
                'config' => $wysiwygConfig
                //'config'    => $wysiwygConfig
            ]
        );

        $dateFormat = $this->_localeDate->getDateFormat(\IntlDateFormatter::SHORT);
        $timeFormat = $this->_localeDate->getTimeFormat(\IntlDateFormatter::SHORT);
        $style = 'color: #000;background-color: #fff; font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px;';
       $fieldset->addField(
            'start_time',
            'date',
            [
                'name' => 'start_time',
                'label' => __('Starting time'),
                'title' => __('Starting time'),
                'required' => true,
                'readonly' => true,
                'style' => $style,
                'class' => 'required-entry',
                'date_format' => $dateFormat,
                'time_format' => $timeFormat,
            ]
        );

I hope this will help you.

I think it is asking to specify gender options. Magento does not know the values for gender dropdown automatically.

You just have to specify values for the gender dropdown.

Add like this :-

$fieldset->addField(
            'news_short_description',
            'editor',
            [
                'name' => 'news_short_description',
                'label' => __('Short Description'),
                'title' => __('Short Description'),
                'class' => 'validate-length maximum-length-100',
                'required' => true
            ]
        );
