## Description

### Pain point

Although the priority is always mandatory:

*   there is no required star to show that
*   there is an "empty"-option ("-") which can be selected and leads to an error

### Expected

*   There should be a required star next to the priority in the WP form
*   It should not be possible to select "-" as a priority.
    *   When there is no default priority given, the "empty"-option should be the placeholder, but not selectable once a priority is set.
