Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using a screenreader, form-js does not do the following:

  • Announce the descriptions of any fields
  • Announce the name of a group
  • Announce if a field is required
  • Announce if a field is invalid

Additionally, form-js will announce elements of the form which are purely visual. For example, it will announce the asterisk which denotes a required field.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add in the appropriate HTML and ARIA labels.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

image
Announces Creditor *, edit text. */"star" is a purely visual element. Does not announce that the field is required and invalid.

image
Voiceover does not show this field as having a description when it does visually.

image
Does not announce the group name on entering.
