Actual Results

There is a comboboxes that are not programmatically defined with appropriate roles and properties. The <input > element of the “Choose issue status”, and "Choose issue type" comboboxes, and the "Select releases" combobox present within the "Releases" modal dialog (available by activating the "View releases" button), do not use role="combobox" or aria-activedescendant. As well, the child listbox do not use role="listbox", role="option" and aria-selected attributes.

This may particularly disadvantage the users of a screen reader. That the comboboxes are not correctly programmatically defined may confuse or mislead them about the functionality of the form fields.

Expected Results

Make sure that the combobox components are programmatically determined. In this scenario, we would recommend you to create a combobox with appropriate ARIA roles and properties. On the combobox, use role="combobox". Where possible, expand a native <input>. Make sure that the <input> is labelled. This can be done with <label> or aria-labelledby. Use aria-expanded to differentiate when the listbox is expanded and collapsed. As well, use aria-activedescendant to programmatically determine the active option. This attribute uses the id of the active option. On the listbox, use role="listbox". Where possible, expand a list container such as <ul>. On the options, use role="option". Where possible, expand <li>. As well, use aria-selected to differentiate between the active and inactive options.
