Broken ARIA references Resources & Support Content Type in CMS

[laflannery]

Status

[2024-08-19] [Fran] Needs UX review and recommendations.

Describe the defect

Within the edit screens on the Resources & Support content type, there are multiple aria-describedby attributes that do not correspond to an ID anywhere on the page.

• Page Introduction
• Calls to Action
• Main content
• VA Benefits hubs
• Related Information
• Other Categories where people may look for this article

AC / Expected behavior

• [ ] Determine what the original intention of the ARIA reference was/is. What additional context was it providing? Do we still need to provide that information in some other way?
• [ ] UX to determine display of additional information if it is determined this is needed
• [ ] Update attribute based on above determination (remove attribute or update it)
• [ ] Accessibility review

Screenshots

Screenshot of the Page Introduction field error from AMP plugin. The aria-describedby attribute is pointing to something with the ID edit-field-intro-text-limited-html-0--description but if I search for that ID I can't find it anywhere on the page, it doesn't exist.

Screenshot of where the attribute is on the <div>

Accessibility Standard

WCAG version 2.0 A, Criterion 1.3.1

@laflannery We don't feel we'll be able to answer these questions/AC (below). Are you able to instead provide recommendations on what should be done?

• Determine what the original intention of the ARIA reference was/is. What additional context was it providing? Do we still need to provide that information in some other way?
• UX to determine display of additional information if it is determined this is needed
