Actual Results

When users add fields such as "Due date", "Fix versions", "Labels", and so on available from the "Fields" submenu by activating the "Add to form" button, there is no visual confirmation or screen reader notification provided on the page. However, the field is successfully appended at the end of the form, which becomes visible upon scrolling down. The same issue occurs when removing fields from the form.

As a result, screen reader users remain unaware of the fields being added to the form until they have navigated through the entire form to identify these fields.

Expected Results

When a field is added or removed, ensure that a visual status message is displayed on the page and is announced by screen readers without shifting the focus.

Use ARIA live region to make sure that the dynamic update is announced for screen reader users. This can be achieved by either adding a live region role="status" or aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" attributes to the container used to display the message. Make sure the live region is present in the page source by default.

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.

Code Snippet:

<div role="status" aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" class="status-message">
  Field "Due date" added successfully.
</div>
