      Issue Summary

      The non-descriptive label "More information about this user" is specified for the buttons.

      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 "More information about this user" buttons in the "Additional Assignees" section.
      5. Observe that the button is announced as "More information about this user" instead of a user-specific label, such as "More information about Chirag Goyal".

      Non-descriptive label issue

      Actual Results

      When screen reader users navigate to the "More information about this user" buttons in the "Additional Assignees" section, each button is announced with the same non-descriptive label: "More information about this user". This occurs because the aria-label attribute uses a generic value rather than a user-specific label, such as "More information about Chirag Goyal".

      As a result, multiple buttons have identical accessible names, making it difficult for screen reader users to determine which assignee's information will be displayed when a button is activated.

      Expected Results

      Screen readers should announce a descriptive and unique accessible name for each "More information" button.

      In this scenario, the aria-label value should include the associated assignee's name (for example, "More information about Chirag Goyal") instead of the generic label "More information about this user". This will enable screen reader users to clearly identify the purpose of each button and distinguish between multiple assignees.

      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.
