    Actual Results

    The instruction "Provide a short name to identify this epic" is not associated with their respective form field "Epic name".

    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-desribedby="one" class="textfield text long-field" id="customfield_10004" name="customfield_10004" maxlength="254" type="text" value="">
    ...
    <p id="one">Provide a short name to identify this epic.</p>

    Workaround

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