      Actual Results

      The identical label "Actions” is provided for multiple buttons which is present in "Search issues" table.

      As a result, screen reader users will not understand the purpose of these buttons. 

      Also, screen reader users tend to pull a list of buttons for faster navigation, thus the buttons with similar labels appearing multiple times in their list will create confusion for them.

      Expected Results

      Unique and descriptive labels should be provided for the buttons

      Apply following changes:

      • Add an "id" attribute with a unique values to the "Action" links and summary links (List, Heading, text and so on). Similarly, add an "id" attribute with a unique value to the link element.
      • Add the "aria-labelledby" attribute to <a> element.
      • Reference values of "id" attributes of the <a> element and the summary links in the "aria-labelledby" attribute.

       

      <td> 
      <a href="#" id="a1" ...>List</a>
      </td>
      ...
      <td>
      <a href="#" id="a2" aria-labelledby="a1 a2" ...>
      <span>Actions</span>
      </a>
      </td>
