Symptoms

On : 8.60 version, Portal Technology -The Accessibility Tax Identification Number is announced as star to Screen Reader user

When navigating through the Register as a Supplier with Screen Reader mode on and a screen reader in use, Step 2: Identifying Information has a form field labeled *Tax Identification Number and the screen reader announces the required form field as "star tax identification number edit type and text". This is incorrect and screen reader users are not provided enough context to know it is required, according to WCAG standards (Specifically: Success Criterion 3.3.2, Technique H90, Example 2). The screen reader should announce the form field as "required tax identification number edit type and text".


The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Register as Supplier with Screen Reader Mode on

2. Use Step 2 "Identifying Information"

3. Screen Reader identifies Information has a form field labeled *Tax Identification Number and the screen reader announces the required form field as "star tax identification number edit type and text


Due to this issue, Screen Reader users are not provided enough context to know it is required, according to WCAG standards.
