SA-2253

Summary

When a property is put on the UI from a different Page the generated UI doesn't set the correct LabelFor - it strips the Page context but doesn't strip the dot from the front of the property.

e.g: .MyPage.ThisProperty
sets <label for=".ThisProperty">This property</label>
and <input ID="ThisProperty" type="text" etc....

Accessibility JAWS and other assistive technologies will not associate the label with the input and will not read it out for the given input.

Error Messages

A user will not know what the input is for and the system becomes difficult / unusable for users who depend entirely on assistive technologies such as screen readers.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a Page, set properties.
Create a section with a different default page.
Include properties referenced from other Page.
View in browser.
Inspect code with IE dev toolbar and Firebug.

Root Cause

The root cause of this problem is a defect in Pegasystems’ code/rules. The label generation function needs to be changed to address the reported issue.

Resolution

This issue is scheduled to be resolved in Maintenance Level (ML) release PRPC 7.1.7.
