Ok it looks like the plugin isn't adding the required class currently I'll fix that in the next release.

As a current workaround try:

    label.required:after {
        content: " *";
        color: red;
    }
</style>```

and with the following PHP

```php
echo $this->Form->control('given_name', [
                    'label' => ['class' => 'required'],
                    'required' => true
                ]);

It doesn't seem like a required class is being added to the form-group class div

#!html

<div class="form-group <!--required missing?-->">
   <label class="col-form-label" for="person-given-name">Given Name</label>
   <input type="text" name="person[given_name]" required="required" id="person-given-name" class="form-control" value="Test 1">
</div>

Also wouldn't that css put the asterisk where I've indicated with a black asterisk?

Ideally I would like the the asterisk to be right next to the label. I can tweak that css to work if either the form-group or label has a required class.

I'd suggest the best way would be via css rather than messing with the CakePHP templates

Something like?
div.form-group.required:after { content:" *"; color:red; }
