      Actual Results

      When screen reader users navigate to the "Details" section using the "Down Arrow" key and try to interact with the custom fields, such as "Test", "Demo", and so on, these fields are not rendered for them. The screen reader's focus skips these fields and directly moves to the "Description" section. This occurs because role="application" is inappropriately specified for the <div> element containing the custom fields section.
      As a result, screen reader users are unable to interact with the custom fields.

      Expected Results

      Ensure that the screen reader users can navigate through the custom fields.

      In this scenario, remove the role="application" from the source of the <div> element.
