Create Project Modal : aria-hidden="true" is used incorrectly.

Issue Summary

For the Create project modal, aria-hidden="true" is used on informative content making it inaccessible to assistive technology.

Steps to Reproduce

1. In the Jira header, navigate to the Projects link and activate it.
2. In the Options select the "Create project" link and activate it.
3. A modal will appear to Create a project and inspect the modal.

Actual Results

The "aria-hidden" attribute is provided to the Create Project modal, which becomes available on selecting the "Create project" link from the Project dropdown link. As a result, screen reader users cannot access the modal effectively.

Expected Results

Remove aria-hidden=”true” from the <div> element in the page source for the modal.

The aria-hidden="true" attribute is used to hide the content from assistive technology users. Although it is a best practice to use the aria-hidden="true" attribute to hide irrelevant content for screen reader users, it can pose issues for screen reader users if it is not used correctly. 
Additionally, ensure the focus does not move out of the modal in the background content unless the modal is closed.

Workaround

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