Actual Results
The input fields (that appears after activating the "page layout" > "Two column section", "Two column section with left side-bar", and so on, buttons) do not have programmatically defined accessible names.
As a result, users of assistive technologies will not be able to understand the purpose or the functionality associated with these input fields.
Expected Results
Interactive elements must have programmatically defined accessible names so that their functionality is communicated to assistive technology users. In this scenario, use aria-label attribute to provide accessible names to the input fields so that these sections could be programmatically identified. Make sure that the accessible names signpost the purpose or functionality associated with these input fields. Code Snippet
<textarea aria-label="Left side - bar">...</textarea>
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
