#34045 closed Bug (fixed)

Admin changelist checkboxes do not have labels

Description (last modified by Tom Carrick)

This is failing WCAG level A so is quite fundamental. Screen reader users currently have no way to know what these checkboxes are for. We should add some kind of screenreader friendly label to make it clear you're selecting this row for running an action.

I'm not quite sure on the text. As the checkbox appears before the text describing the row I'm not sure if it'd need any extra info on the label - I suppose if we just added the label we'd be asking the user to select something that they don't yet know what it is?

I guess we need aria-labels. Tentatively accepted.

I'd be grateful for any description, by the way 😉.

Hey, guys!

I was working on this ticket and Mariusz Felisiak wrote that each line should have a defined aria label [¹]. But I'm not sure which text I should use. Maybe the str(instance)? What do you think?
