USWDS-Site - Bug: "Keep a record" pattern guidance unclear for "questions skipped" #2703

Open jaclinec opened 3 weeks ago

Describe the bug

The USWDS guidance for the "Keep a record" pattern could use some clarity around "questions skipped." The guidance reads:

Providing the user with a record of the answers provided, questions skipped, and the URL and date stamp of form submission can reduce fear, increase confidence, and improve the user’s trust in your program.

A USWDS user was confused by what we mean by "questions skipped" and if that includes questions that are not shown to the user due to skip/conditional logic in a form. See details in #5940.

This bug has minor impact.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Go to https://designsystem.digital.gov/patterns/complete-a-complex-form/keep-a-record/
  2. Find the guidance under About this pattern > What problem does this solve?

Expected Behavior

We should add content to clarify what we mean by "questions skipped." For example, if we mean non-required questions that the user made a decision to skip (rather than questions not offered to the user due to conditional form logic), then we could revise the content to read "non-required questions skipped" or something similar.
