      Actual Results

      The heading structure in the dialog is found to be inappropriate. Text such as the “Save Filter" heading in the "Save Filter" modal dialog that becomes available after activating "Save as" button in the main content area is coded as <h2> which does not match the visual hierarchy in the dialog.

      As a result, screen reader users will find it difficult to understand the dialog's content structure.

      Expected Results

      The heading levels should be defined as per the visual hierarchy of the dialog to enable screen reader users to understand the dialog's structure.

      Mark up the “Save Filter" heading text using <h1> element.

      Code Example:

      <h1 id="jira-dialog2__heading" title="Save filter">Save filter</h1>

      Workaround

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