Screenshot

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
