Accessibility blockers: ticket inputs' form labels and IDs don't match
We have found that we can't get feedback on many accessibility issues in our projects because Lighthouse is not accessible to our testers using assistive technologies. In both the new ticket interface and the comment field on existing tickets, there is a mismatch between the label tags' "for" attributes and the input/textarea IDs. The four select elements are correctly labeled, but it looks as if the text input IDs have drifted over time and their labels were never updated to match. For example, the title field on a new ticket has an ID of ticket_title but its label is pointing to ticket_name; likewise the ticket body's ID is ticket-body but its label is pointing to ticket_body. Ticket tags' input ID is ticket_tag, but the label "for" is ticket_tags.
Fixing these labels would be a huge help to us in getting the feedback we need from testers to make our own software more accessible.
