Alongside desk research to see if there are other solutions we could try, we'll be experiementing with reverting the removal of the details polyfill to see if that version of the details component works.
This isn't a guarantee that we'll merge that reversion as there are other downsides to including the details polyfill.
Something we could also potentially explore is distributing an extension that contails the details polyfill for end users so that they can use them with Dragon without adding weight to govuk-frontend.
What
Investigate if it's possible to enhance the details component in order for it to be operable via Dragon.
Why
This is in response to https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-design-system/issues/4029. This was raised in a recent DAC audit that dictation software Dragon doesn't recognise the details component and can't operate it. More detail is available in that issue.
Notes
As mentioned in the linked issue, we'd like to avoid DAC's suggestion to convert the details component from a literal
details
element into an accordion-like component as this will add extra weight to govuk-frontend and undo work we did to remove the details polyfill for 5.0.Timebox
