Description (last modified by )
Editable fields in the tables are missing a label for users using assisting technologies like screen readers.
Example: the dropdown in the Type column and date selection field in the Release Date column.
https://django-admin-tests.netlify.app/django_admin_tests/latest/english/admin/demo/release/
The columns have a title on top, but this is not associated with the individual field elements.
Axe has flagged this as an accessibility issue related to the select-name rule.
This seems to be a failure of WCAG SC 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value

Thank you, I believe this hasn’t been reported before. Not sure what the fix looks like with Django’s admin implementation but in HTML that’s most likely an extra
aria-labelledbyoraria-labelfor those elements.
