Issue Summary
The element appears and functions like a Combobox but is missing the required ARIA role(s) and/or attribute(s).
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch the URL
- In the main content area, Navigate to the Repositories available and select a repository with a checkbox.
- Options will appear on top to Delete or Move the repository, select the "Move" button.
- A modal will appear, navigate into the modal.

Actual Results
In the Source, the Move repository modal has an Autocomplete list Combobox for "Project". The particular element has some of the Labels and Roles missing. When native HTML elements are used basic information about an element, such as name, role, state and value are exposed to assistive technologies by default. However, for custom components, this information needs to be made available for assistive technologies, so users can interact with the custom components effectively.
Expected Results
Few of the following labels and roles could be added to the following elements :
- A role="combobox" could be added to the <div> element.
- The dropdown menu should announce the label it is associated with.
- For this case, when the users focus to enter the Dropdown menu, it should announce content such as "Project name, select the Project from the list of items". This will help the assistive technology user to understand the relation between the label and the dropdown menu.
- A working example for accessible Autocomplete Combobox could be found at: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.2/examples/combobox/combobox-autocomplete-list.html
Workaround
Currently, there is no known workaround for this behaviour. A workaround will be added here when available.
