Screen Recording

Priority Announcement Issue

Actual Results

When screen reader users navigate to the "Edit Priority" button and activate it, a "Priority" listbox is displayed. Upon selecting a value (e.g., "Low") using the Enter key, focus is returned to the "Edit Priority" button and the selected priority is updated and displayed on the page.

However, the updated priority is not programmatically announced to screen reader users after the listbox is closed. As a result, users relying on screen readers do not receive feedback confirming that the priority change was successfully applied.

Expected Results

The selected value should be programmatically announced to screen reader users to confirm that the action was successfully completed.

Dynamically update the aria-label of the <button> to include the selected priority value (e.g., “Edit Priority, Low”, “Edit Priority, Medium”, “Edit Priority, High”, etc.), so the accessible name always reflects the current selection.

Note:

This code example is intended only as a general illustration of how to address the violation and should not be considered a complete or production-ready solution. If you have any questions, please attach this ticket to a #help-accessibility request.
