      3. Navigate to “Create new dasboards” link and activate it. and Create a new dasboard
      4. Open "Edit dashboard" page.
      5. Navigate to the mentioned dropdown and select an option.
      6. Observe that the content is added on the page

      Actual Result

      As soon as users select an option from the "Add fields" dropdown, the selected option is added on the page. Although this information is easily conveyed to sighted users, but it is not announced for screen reader users.

      Expected Result

      Ensure that the screen reader announces the added content when the users select an option from the "Add fields"

      This can be achieved using role=” status” and aria-live=” atomic” attributes.
