Issue Summary

The checkboxes are provided with the non-descriptive label “Mark task as completed/not completed”.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Jira Cloud home page.
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. Navigate to the "Description" and add "Actions" macros.
5. Observe that the "Checkbox" is added to the page.
6. Using a screen reader, navigate to the newly added checkbox.
7. Observe that the "Checkbox" is announced as "Mark task as completed" instead of "Jira-Mark task as completed".

Screenshot

Actual Results

When screen reader users navigate to the "Mark task as completed/not completed" checkbox each checkbox is announced with the same non-descriptive label: "Mark task as completed/not completed" This occurs because the aria-label attribute uses a generic value rather than a user-specific label, such as "Jira-Mark task as completed/not completed".

As a result, screen reader users are unable to understand the purpose of the checkboxes effectively.

Expected Results

Screen readers should announce a descriptive and unique accessible name for each checkbox.

In this scenario, the aria-label value should include the associated checkbox name (for example, "Jira-Mark task as completed/not completed") instead of the generic label "Mark task as completed/not completed" This will enable screen reader users to clearly identify the purpose of each checkbox.

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.
