It isn't really possible in the UI directly, since there is no setting
in metadata (at least in the 4.8.x tree) for "check", which determines 
this. In addition, we have the template set up to have the labels bold
by default.

If you are directly using the table-editor, all you need to do
is add:

	check.fieldname=required

to the parameter list. All other things being equal, it should make
the field "fieldname" required, and in the default setup should bold
any label.

In fact, if you log in to the demo as admin and create a page that
holds only:

    [table-editor
	table=products
	check.description=required
	item_id=os28007
    ]

This will have the effect you want.
