Labels for specific date fields are not announced correctly by JAWS. As an example within the “Create Page” screen, the “Publish Date *” text box is announced by JAWS as “Date edit required 2017-01-30 … type in text”, instead of announcing correctly as “Publish Date edit required 2017-01-30 type in text”.
The defect exists in IE 11 and Google Chrome v55.0.2883.87 m.
Expected result: All labels are expected to be announced correctly by JAWS. In this instance, JAWS is expected to announce “Publish Date edit required 2017-01-30 type in text”.
Reference: Section 508, Part 1194.22, Paragraph (n).
Notes:
• This defect also exists elsewhere within the application.
• This defect exists on a screen that is not accessible via a keyboard. The tester was forced to use the mouse to access this screen, which is not acceptable for a JAWS user.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open JAWS v18.0.2118.
2. Open Drupal
3. Use the Tab key to navigate to the “Manage” button and press Spacebar/Enter to select.
4. Use the mouse to select “Content” -> “Add content”.
5. Select the “Page” link.
6. Use the Tab key to navigate to the “Publish Date*” text box.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
This is an extremely old report, does this issue still exist in Drupal 11?
Since there hasn't been a follow up in 4+ months going to close out. If still an issue please reopen.
