Screen Recording

Error Messages Issue

Actual Results

When the user activates the "Send feedback" button with required fields left empty, error messages such as "Please select a feedback type" and "Please provide a description" are displayed. However, the errors are not announced by screen readers, and focus does not move to the associated fields. As a result, screen reader users may be unaware that validation errors have occurred, including for dynamically displayed required fields such as the "Let us know what you'd like to improve" field.

Expected Results

The error messages should be conveyed to screen reader users.

Apply the following changes:

• Add "aria-describedby" attribute to the form field.
• Reference "id" attribute value of the containner used to display the error message to "aria-describedby" attribute.
• Set focus on the field with the error using JavaScript’s .focus() method as soon as the error occurs.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
