    Hi, we just had an accessibility done on some of our websites by the french company Temesis and they suggested the fix proposed by @nyph1337 in comment #5 for the Webform help tooltips. Looks like the aria-describedby attribute is required.

    @jrockowitz Do we need to create a new issue for this or could this one just be reopened?
