| Aug 5, 2019 at 1:03 | comment | added | JochenW | What's the context of this design? Does the user really need to know what the default setting is? In what situations would they want to go back? The problem with showing something like a star is that this might confuse users as to which option is actually selected. Also, unlike using an asterisk for required fields, including a custom character in a menu item is not an established pattern, so your users might not even know what it means. | |
