XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      The "Search" input field for the Select macro modal has a missing explicit association and has a missing label for the input field.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Edit the confluence page
      2. Open the Select macros modal.
      3. In the Select macros modal, with the screen reader on, navigate into the search input field at the top of the modal.

      Actual Results

      The "Search" input field for the Select macro modal does not have a label explicitly associated with it and the form field has a missing label. The 'for' and 'id' association is missing between the label and the form control. The screen reader announces it as "edit text", which does not indicate any label associated with it and will create confusion for the assistive technology users.

      Labels need to be explicitly associated with their respective form controls for assistive technologies to identify the label accurately and convey the information to the users.

      Expected Results

      Provide a label such as "Search macros"  to the input field and additionally associate the label explicitly with the form control by providing an identical value that is unique from other IDs to "for" and "id" attributes to ensure that assistive technologies identify the label for the form control correctly. 

      Workaround

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