Good Morning,
Is it safe to assume that in 2017, using both aria-required="true" and required="true" is no longer required/suggested on required form elements?
I'm assuming that there is adequate screen reader support for required="true" but wanted to get your opinion.
Thank you,

Angela
For HTML5 you just need "required" not required="true" or anything.
And, yes, this is mostly true, support is similar for both by now.
The problem (or feature) using required is that, in browsers that
support it, the browsers will move focus to the field and display a
browser status error message.
If you have custom handling of required field with your own messages,
then they may be overridden if you use required, in that case you need
to mark it visualy and use aria-required="true" for assistive
technologies.
I recommend using the required attribute.

You can use the novalidate attribute to override this.

I didn't know about novalidate either. That is why I love this list because I always learn something new.
