Issue Summary

The custom fields "Severity", "Root Cause". and "Vendor" are not associated with their visual labels.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Jira Cloud homepage.
2. Activate the "Create" button located in the header -> A dialog appears.
3. Using a screen reader, navigate to the custom fields.
4. Note that the screen reader (NVDA / JAWS) announces the custom fields only as "Select field" without their visual label.
5. Inspect the code of these fields.
6. Observe that these fields are not programmatically associated with their visual labels.

Actual Results

The custom fields "Severity", "Root Cause". and "Vendor" within the "Create Issue" dialog lack explicitly associated accessible names. When utilizing screen readers such as JAWS or NVDA, these fields are announced only as "Select field" without any reference to their corresponding visual labels.

As a result, screen reader users might not understand the purpose of the mentioned custom fields.

Expected Results

The screen reader should announce the visual label for the custom fields correctly. 

In this cae, add an aria-labelledby attribute to the <input> element, referencing the id of the associated <label> element. This ensures screen readers announce the correct visual labels "Severity", "Root Cause". and "Vendor" for each custom field instead of the generic "Select field" text from the aria-label attribute.

Code Snippet:

<label id="customfield_10256-field-label" for="customfield_10256-field" ...>Severity</label> 
(...)
<input aria-labelledby="customfield_10256-field-label" id="customfield_10256-field" role="combobox" ...>
