Actual Results

In the Repository settings, the Repository details have an autocomplete Combobox for the "Default branch". 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 "Default branch, select a default branch 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.
