Accessibility issues w/Forms
Hi all,
I use a dropdown menu in a form and was recently told that screen reading programs (for people that are blind or have low-vision) do not detect the drop down menu options. Has anyone encountred this before or any other accessiblity issues with forms? Any way to fix it besides not using a drop down menu?
Any insight would be appreciated!

Hi
I believe this was addressed in a release some time ago. Do you know what browser or screen reader is not detecting?
I found the update on the release where it was addressed.
It suggests mobile app or chrome for most accessible experience.

Smartsheet notes that its forms are WCAG 2.0 compliant, but we find that our forms are failing success criterion 1.4.8 (visual presentation). Line spacing must be at least a space-and-a-half within paragraphs, and paragraph spacing must be at least 1.5 times larger than the line spacing. I'm using an up-to-date version of Chrome when viewing the forms.
I'm based at a large university whose policy requires all web content to meet WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines - including content hosted by external platforms.
