      Issue Summary

      The "description" textarea is being read 'rich textarea', the label "description" is not being read.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Turn on the screen reader.
      2. Navigate inside "create issue" modal dialog.
      3. Press tab until you reach description textarea.
      4. Observe that the screen reader announces just as "rich textarea" & "description" is not announced.

      Actual Results

      The description textarea has aria-label="Rich Text Area. Press ALT-0 for help." which doesn’t describe the purpose of the input field. 

      This makes screen reader users difficult to understand the purpose of input field.

      Expected Results

      The label of the textarea should clearly describe the purpose.

       Update the aria-label of the textarea as "Description, Rich Text Area. Press ALT-0 for help."

      Workaround

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