2. Navigate and activate "Create" button in header section.

Actual Results

The heading structure is found to be inappropriate on the page. The texts such as "Create issue" is coded as <h2> instead of H1. which does not matches the visual hierarchy on the page. As a result, screen reader users found it difficult to understand the page's content structure.

Expected Results

The heading levels should be announced as per the visual hierarchy by the screen reader to understand the page structure for their users. Use heading levels as per specification such as <h1> should be followed by <h2>, <h3>, and so on. In this scenario provide <H1> element to the "Create issue" text.

Code snippet

<h1 id="jira-dialog2__heading" ...>Create Issue</h1>
