Summary

Using JAWS or NVDA, input elements with role="combobox" are described only as:
'combo box collapsed and autocomplete editable blank' for one with nothing pre-selected
or
'combo box collapsed and autocomplete editable selected <Whatever is selected>'

Input elements with role="combobox" have a different id than the previous label for element.

A concrete example is <label for="project"></label>
The actual active element is <input id="project-field"></input> whereas the element labeled as "project" is a hidden input element.

This means that combobox selection elements, such as Project, Issue Type, Priority, Components/s, Reporter, Assignee, Labels, Epic Link, Sprint, and many more are indistinguishable from each other when read aloud:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Access any combobox selection elements, such as Project, Issue Type, Priority, Components/s, Reporter, Assignee, Labels, Epic Link and Sprint using JAWS or NVDA

Expected Results

These should be distinguishable from each other when read aloud.

Actual Results

They're indistinguishable.

Notes (suggested solutions)

• change the label for id so it matches the id for the actual input element that has role="combobox"
• swap the labels for the the style="display: none;" hidden input element with the element that has role="combobox", so the combobox one gets id "project" and the hidden input element gets the "project-field" id instead.
• Explicitly assign an aria-label attribute for each of the combobox elements, so for the project label, combobox would have aria-label="project".
