      Issue Summary

      The non descriptive label "Refresh" is provided for the button.

      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.

      5. Navigate to the "Refresh" button and inspect the code.
      6. Observe that the button label is non-descriptive.

      Actual Results

      The non-descriptive accessible name “Refresh” is provided for the button instead of the more descriptive “Refresh Recent rule runs”. As a result, screen reader users may not have sufficient context to understand the purpose of the button or what content will be refreshed.

      Expected Results

      The screen reader should announce unique and descriptive label for the button.

      Apply the following changes:

      • Add "aria-labelledby" attribute to <button> element containing the text such as “Refresh”.
      • Add "id" attribute with unique value to <button> element containing the text such as “Refresh” and <h2> element containing the text such as "Recent rule runs".
      • Reference both "id" attribute values (of <button> and <h2> elements) to "aria-labelledby" attribute.

      If the above approach is not feasible, add aria-label="Refresh Recent rule runs" to the <button> element to provide a descriptive accessible name.

      Code Snippet:

      <h2 class="_dxsyidpf...">Recent rule runs</h2> 
      <button aria-labelledby="h1 a1" type="button" class="_ymio1r31...">
      <span class="_v564g17y" id="h1">Refresh</span>
      </button>

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
