Description

The customer, State Of Pennsylvania Office Of Administration, has reported an accessibility issue in AEM Forms. The problem involves checkboxes not being grouped correctly within a <fieldset> element, with the group label not nested in a <legend> as the first child. This structure is necessary for compliance with accessibility standards, ensuring users with disabilities can navigate and understand form elements accurately.
