      Actual Results

      The instruction "Begin typing for available operations or press down to see all" is not associated with their respective form field present in the Operations modal dialog.

      As a result, screen reader users might miss out on important instructions.

      Expected Results

      The screen reader should announce the instruction along with label text.

      Apply the following changes:

      • Add the "aria-describedby" attribute to the form field.
      • Reference the "id" value of the element used to display the instruction text in the "aria-describedby" attribute.

      Code Example:

      <input aria-describedby="one" autocomplete="off" role="combobox" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-expanded="false" class="text" id="issueactions-field" type="text" aria-busy="false">
...
<div id="one" class="description">Begin typing for available operations or press down to see all</div>

      Workaround

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