ARIA

aria-required-children

WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships Level A

Who this affects

This role must contain particular child roles, and they are missing.

How to fix it

Add the required children, such as option elements inside a listbox.

How much work is it?

Usually a developer work. That is a rough guide for planning, not an estimate for your codebase. A single content edit repeated across a template is a template change.

What a person still has to check

Passing this rule does not mean 1.3.1 passes. Automation checks part of the criterion, and the rest is a judgement:

Confirm headings, lists, and tables are marked up as such, and that visual grouping is reflected in the markup.
