Hi team, can an accessibility expert, kindly, observe the text that has been read on selection Contains selectable items and Multi selectable items and decide if the first text needs to be enhanced to "Contains Single selectable items". Give in mind, that the read-out text also contains string "Single selection list" and "Multi selection list".

Best regards, Petya Markova. (UI5 WC Developer)
