Identify potential changes to conditional reveals for research

[36degrees]

What

Identify what potential changes to the conditional reveals on radios and checkboxes we might want to prototype and test in user research.

Why

There are a few known issues with conditional reveals, as described in the epic. There are no simple fixes, so we're likely to want to test and potential changes in user research.

Done when…

• Desk research for which assistive tech does and does not support aria-expanded on conditional reveals
• Chosen which use cases are the most appropriate to test in the research prototype. Ed's examples on slides 53 onwards should help.

Upcoming user research

We are going to test the existing components that use conditional reveal, (checkboxes and radios), in order to establish what works well and what works less well.

Once we have that understanding, we will be in a better place to prioritise design and development changes to the components.

[CharlotteDowns]

We have decided to take the component 'as-is' to user research in November 2020. The two versions of the component we are going to test are:

1. a contact details example (as seen in the Design System)
2. a fieldset example where we will use either a date or address input.
