Actual Results

When user enter any invalid the an update gets added dynamically on the page such as "No versions were found that match your search Try modifying your filter criteria." which is not being announced at the same time. Although, this information is easily conveyed to sighted users, it is not announced for screen reader users.

Similarly when user enter valid details the table content gets updated which is not being announced for screen reader users

Expected Results

Make sure that search results are programmatically determined. To achieve this, use a polite live region, such as role=“status”, and aria-atomic to make sure that the entire text node is always announced.

If this is not possible due to any constrains, then use hidden instructions, notifying users about the dynamic update in advance. Make sure that this instruction is programmatically associated with the input field with aria-describedby. Make sure that the id values match appropriately.

Code Snippet

<div class="no-results no-table-common" aria-atomic="true" role="status"><img class="releases-logo" alt="" src="/download/resources/com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:release-page-assets/page/project/release/image/versions-search-empty-state.svg"><h4>No versions were found that match your search</h4><p class="description">Try modifying your filter criteria.</p></div>

Workaround

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