      Actual Results

      The checkboxes in the "Scope" table do not have programmatically defined accessible names.

      As a result, users of assistive technologies will not be able to understand the purpose or the functionality associated with the form fields.

      Expected Results

      Interactive elements must have programmatically defined accessible names so that their functionality is communicated to assistive technology users.

      In this scenario, we would recommend you to associate these checkboxes with the data in the "Issue" column. As these column has descriptive data, this would provide more context to these checkboxes. For this, specify unique IDs to both, the checkboxes, as well as the data of the "Issues" column. Reference the id attributes of both via aria-labelledby attribute respectively.
