We are seeing an accessibility issue in a form where the screen reader (VoiceOver or NVDA) announces the previous error message instead of the current one when the validation state of a field. This fix address the underlying cause of this issue by making sure the aria-describedby is updated if the validation message changes.
fix #7612
Proposed behaviour
When a validation message is dynamically updated in our input-based components, the new (or current) validation message should be announced.
Current behaviour
screen reader (VoiceOver or NVDA) announces the previous error message instead of the current one when the validation state of a field.
Checklist
d.tsfile added or updated if requiredQA
Additional context
The commit message is not ideal but we are limited to 72 characters. Ideally I would like to have said "ensure that current validation message is read out by a screenreader when the message is dynamically updated"
Testing instructions
Form -> Test -> Dynamic validations.
