Backlog | Create Sprint: Dynamically updating content not announced for screen reader users

    Issue Summary

    The content that appears on the modal dialog after selecting the date is not announced for the screen reader user.

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Open the "Complete sprint" page.
    2. Navigate and fill in the "Date" input fields.
    3. Observe that the content gets added above the form fields.
    4. Listen that the screen reader does not read the dynamically added content.

    Actual Results

    On selecting the "Date", the content gets dynamically updated/added above.

    Although the dynamic change in the content is easier to understand for sighted users, it is not intuitive for screen reader users.

    Expected Results

    When using a screen reader, users should understand through the instructions that the content is being dynamically added to the modal dialog above.

    Use appropriate ARIA live region attribute or role to achieve this. Specify aria-live="polite" or role=“status” to the container consisting of remaining characters.

    Workaround

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