      Actual Results

      When screen reader users navigate to the "Edit Story Point Estimate" button and activate it, the "Story Point Estimate" listbox is displayed. Upon selecting a value (e.g., "5") using the Enter key, focus returns to the "Edit Story Point Estimate" button, and the selected story point is updated and displayed on the page. However, the updated story point is not programmatically announced to screen reader users after the listbox is closed. As a result, screen reader users do not receive feedback confirming that the story point change was successfully applied.

      Expected Results

      The selected Story Point 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 currently selected Story Point value (e.g., "Edit Story Point Estimate, 3", "Edit Story Point Estimate, 5", "Edit Story Point Estimate, 8", etc.) so that the accessible name always reflects the current selection.
