Issue/Introduction

Purchase order - View combobox

Issue: The View combobox is not accessible with screen readers. There are multiple issues which include:

There is no label in code for the component (i.e. View). Only the selected value announces. expanded/collapsed state is not conveyed to screen reader users. It has an incorrect role of text box. It is not a text box. It is not keyboard accessible. Heading text in the combobox isn't marked up as a heading. But also generally we shouldn't be using heading text in a dropdown.

Search input within the combobox is not accessible with screen reader. Escape key functions as Shift + Tab when you try to use it to close the listbox options. It has buttons which perform actions within the dropdown (manage and save as).
