Whether a field is optional / mandatory should not be part of the field's description (like it currently is e.g. for an organization's description), but be an inherent UI part of the form itself.
Personally, I regard everything as mandatory in a form unless noted otherwise, so I'd go for only marking optional fields. Doing that as a dimmed suffix to the field's name, or as a dimmed text that's only shown as long as the field is empty seems to be to most reasonable to me.
