Issue Summary

The row headers are missing in the data table.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Jira/JSM Cloud homepage.
2. Navigate to the Sidebar, expand "Spaces", and open any space.
3. Navigate to the "List" link, activate it, and open any work item from the data table.
4. Navigate to the "Assignee" section and activate "More information about Chirag Goyal," then activate the "Assigned work items Chirag Goyal" link.
5. Navigate to the data table and inspect the code in the second column of the second row (or any row).
6. Observe that the <th scope="row"> element is missing.

Actual Results

When screen reader users navigate to the "All Work" table and move down through the "Assignee" or other columns using table navigation keys (such as "Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow" in JAWS/NVDA on Windows or "Control + Option + Arrow" in VoiceOver on macOS), the "Work" information in the "Work" column is not announced by the screen reader.

This issue occurs because the row headers for the "Work" information are not programmatically defined using the <th scope="row"> element.

As a result, when users navigate across other columns in the table, they cannot determine which row or work item the data corresponds to.

Expected Results

Ensure that the row headers are defined programmatically.

In this scenario, specify the <th scope="row"> element for the mentioned instances.
