    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      The "SR Board" and "The simple way to collect and track work requests" are both marked as level 1 headings.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open the Jira Cloud home page.
      2. Select any Scrum project and navigate to Space navigation.
      3. Navigate to the "Forms" tab and activate it.
      4. Using screen reader pull up the list of Headings.
      5. Notice that multiple heading level 1 texts are present in the list.

      Actual Results

      The texts "SR Board" and "The simple way to collect and track work requests" are inappropriately marked up using the HTML <h1> element.

      As a result, screen reader users find it difficult to understand the page structure and heading hierarchy.

      Expected Results

      It is recommended to use only one heading with level 1 on a page. Only one heading level 1 text should be announced with screen reader for their users.

      Apply the following changes ->

      • Mark-up the "The simple way to collect and track work requests" heading using the <h2> tag, while maintaining the "SR Board" heading as an <h1> tag, as originally specified.
      • Use CSS to maintain the presentation of the page.
