      Issue Summary

      The status message indicating the successful creation of an issue is not communicated to users of assistive technologies.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Log in to Jira DC- https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/ConfigurePortalPages.jspa?view=favourites
      2. Select any project from the projects list.
      3. Navigate to the "Create issue" button.
      4. Fill in the required details and activate the "Create" button.
      5. Observe that a status message appears on the page.
      6. Note that this status message is not communicated to users of a screen reader.

      Screen Recording

      Actual Results

      When the "Create" button is activated, a status message such as "XYZ issue has been successfully created." is displayed on the page. However, this status message is not announced to users of screen readers. As a result, users relying on assistive technologies are unable to efficiently interact with the feedback associated with the action.

      Expected Results

      All status messages must be programmatically communicated. To achieve this, a polite live region should be used, incorporating role="status" and aria-atomic="true" to ensure that the entire message is announced to screen reader users.

      Code Snippet

      <span role="status" aria-atomic="true">XYZ issue has been successfully created.</span>
