Accessibility: Aria-Label vs. html <LABEL for>
SA-2264
Summary
Accessibility - JAWS reads out the required format information which uses Aria-Label rather than the html <LABEL for> associated to the input.
Root Cause
The aria-label is being given for situations other than text and also if no label is present.
As a side effect, a screen reader does not read the actual label when present. Instead it is only reading the aria-label.
Resolution
This issue is resolved by hotfix item HFix-10039.
