Hello @lormanlau,

I'm not sure that I get the requirement right. JAWS would read the Chrome tab title when in virtual cursor mode only. The virtual cursor mode gets switched on by default with JAWS and it is not the correct mode to navigate through a component with a complex accessibility semantics like the ui5-datetime-picker . When in regular mode no title gets announced when the date time picker gets opened. That is correct though as the opened popover doesn't have a visual title. It is not a good practice to provide additional information for the screen reader users that is not present for the rest of the users.

The accessibleNameRef property affects the ui5-datetime-picker input announcements as that is the part all users have to go through before they can open the value help dialog. Also this is the place the users receive the context information. The next step would be for the users to press "F4" and open the date picker value help, in order to choose easily a date and time, but at this point they already do know the context they are in.

Could you please elaborate in more detail?

Best regards, Boyan
