    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      On the "Average Age Report" page, grouping is provided unnecessarily for form fields such as "periods" and "Days previously"

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to “Boards” menu pop-up link and activate it.
      2. Navigate to “Scrum” link and activate it.
      3. Navigate to “Report” link present in Side navigation and activate it.
      4. Navigate to "Average Age Report" link and activate it.
      5. Navigate to mentioned field and listen the screen reader announcement.

      Actual Results

      The form fields such as "Periods" and "Days Previously" are grouped unnecessarily using <fieldset> and <legend> elements. Additionally, the instructions such as "The length of period represented on the graph" and "Days (including today to show in the group)" are marked-up using <label> tag. As a result, screen reader users might get confused to understand the purpose of form fields effectively.

      Expected Result

      Apply the following changes

      • Remove the <fieldset> and <legend> tags from the mentioned form fields and code them using <label> tags.
      • Associate the mentioned form fields with their labels using "for" and "id" attributes.
      • Provide "aria-describedby" attribute to the form field and reference the "id" value of the <label> tag used to display the instruction text in the "aria-describedby" attribute.
