Expected or Desired Behavior

All property pane controls based on underlying Fabric React controls should expose aria properties for accessibility when the underlying Fabric React control does.

Shouldn't the property pane controls expose aria properties for screen readers & accessibility purposes?

Observed Behavior

These property pane controls do not have aria properties exposed on their interfaces:

• Dropdown (underlying Fabric React control)
• Slider (underlying Fabric React control)
• Toggle (underlying Fabric React control)

No… I’m saying looking at all the property pane controls, I noticed a few didn’t have aria properties. Knowing they are based on the Fabric React components, when the underlying Fabric component had an aria property but the SPFx property pane didn’t (the three here), I got curious as to why so posted the question. I don’t have a repo… just asking how you would set the aria property on the underlying control.

Accessibility is a priority for SharePoint Framework. We'll look into implementing this.

Hello, @andrewconnell - Thanks for raising the issue. This issue is now fixed and will be available in the next release. I am closing the issue now but please feel free to reopen it if you don't see the aria properties on any of the controls in the next release.

Thanks,
Srikanth
