Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Jira

3. Observe modal dialog gets added on the page.
4. Submit the form with required fields left empty.
5. Observe that the focus remains on the Create button.

Screen Recording

Actual Results

After submitting the "Create issue" form with missing required fields, the focus remains on the "Create" button instead of moving to the first error form field.As a result, screen reader users are unaware about the occurrence of errors.

Expected Results

Apply the following changes:
Set focus on the first field with error using the JavaScript .focus() method as soon as the form is submitted.
Users should be able to navigate to the errors efficiently and in a task-appropriate order.

Workaround

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