      Actual Results

      When the screen reader users navigate the data present for first and fifth column of data table, the table header for this column is announcing empty. As a result, it will be confusing experience for screen reader users.

      Expected Results

      Provide a logical and descriptive table header as "Issue type" and "Actions" for the first and fifth columns of data table respectively.

      A visible header text is expected for all the column headers so that all users benefit from it. Data tables provide content in certain context. When the screen readers are informed about a table, they expect for table headers and data cells. Navigating through each cell enables them to identify and interpret tabular content.

      <th>Issue Type</th>
      ...
      <th>Actions</th>

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