Actual Results
As soon as users start typing in the "Search for an attribute" input field under the Referenced objects in the object overview modal and searches for something, an error message is shown or if the results are available the results are shown. Although this information is easily available for sighted users, it is not announced for blind and low vision users.
Expected Results
Ensure that screen reader users are aware of the information that is updated below while they are typing and are able to access the information.
Use appropriate ARIA Live region attributes to achieve this. Specify aria-live = “polite” to the container used to display the number of results that are available. This will ensure that each time the change in the number is announced for screen reader users when they are idle.
Workaround
Currently, there is no known workaround for this behaviour. A workaround will be added here when available.
