Issue Summary

aria-hidden="true" is used on informative content making it inaccessible to assistive technology.

Element name: Task types modal

Location of the element: In the "Task types" modal.

Additional details: Due to aria-hidden="true", while navigating with arrow keys, the screen reader is not announcing the content in the modal.

Note: Same issue applicable for all modals.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Click on the "Add task" link, in the "Add task / Script task" page i.e "Configure job" page.
2. Then the "Task types" modal will display.
3. Check the content is accessible with arrow keys in the modal.

Actual Results

The "aria-hidden" attribute is provided to the Task types modal, which becomes available on activating the Add task button. As a result, screen reader users cannot access the modal effectively.

Expected Results

Remove the aria-hidden="true" from the source code for the Task types modal. Ensure the modal is accessible by the screen reader user.

The aria-hidden="true" attribute is used to hide the content from assistive technology users. Although it is a best practice to use the aria-hidden="true" attribute to hide irrelevant content for screen reader users, it can pose issues for screen reader users if it is not used correctly.
