Accessibility Text for a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups function

developer2021 over 1 year ago

Hello all,

For an editable grid, we are using the a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroup function to filter through the users based on the selected group chosen in the grid. When entering a letter in the picker field, it undergoes a search and then gives a listing of all the users within that group that has the letter in it. Is there any way to get the screen readers to be dynamic in a sense where it can tell you how many users match the criteria for the value entered?

If your list of values to display contains 12 or more items, you'll have a search box on dropdownfield components. Please take a look in documentation: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.2/Dropdown_Component.html#dropdowns-vs-pickers

Also please try the following example to understand the behavior:

a!localVariables(
  local!nbrItems,
  local!items: enumerate(
    if(
      isnull(local!nbrItems),
      1,
      local!nbrItems
    )
  ),
  local!itemsLabels: a!forEach(
    items: local!items,
    expression: concat(
      "Option - ",
      tostring(fv!item)
    )
  ),
  {
    a!integerField(
      label: "Number of items on dropdown:",
      value: local!nbrItems,
      saveInto: local!nbrItems,
      refreshAfter: "KEYPRESS"
    ),
    a!dropdownField(
      label: "My dropdown:",
      choiceLabels: local!itemsLabels,
      choiceValues: local!items,
      placeholder: "--- Select a value ---"
    )
  }
)
