Issue Summary

The selected due date is not announced with the "Edit Due date" control label.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Jira 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. Using a screen reader, navigate to the "Edit Due date" control using the Tab key.
5. Observe that the selected due date is not announced along with the control label.

Screen Recording

Selected value is not conveyed to screen readers

Actual Results

When screen reader users navigate to the "Edit Due date" control using the Tab key, only the control label is announced, while the selected due date value is not conveyed. To access the selected due date information, users must either activate the control or use additional navigation commands, such as the Down Arrow key with JAWS/NVDA on Windows or Control + Option + Right Arrow with VoiceOver on macOS. As a result, screen reader users may not be aware of the currently selected due date when the control receives focus.

Expected Results

The selected value should be announced along with the control label when the control receives focus.

Ensure that the selected due date value is programmatically associated with the "Edit Due date" control and announced to screen reader users when the control receives focus. For example, update the aria-label of the <button> element to include the selected due date value, such as aria-label="Edit Due date, 6/8/2026". Ensure that the value is dynamically updated based on user interaction.
