Problem/Motivation

This issue was reported to Quant by a user.

The Hostname field on the main configuration page (/admin/config/services/quant) is prefilled with www.example.com. Screen reader users don't know this is prefilled without explicitly checking it, so the resulting value can get be a combination of what they typed in and what the prefilled value is.

Note that this is not an issue in the D9+ version as the field is not prefilled.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Using a screen reader, go to /admin/config/services/quant
  2. Go through the fields to the Hostname field
  3. Fill in the value
  4. Result: The value you filled in will be added to the prefilled www.example.com text
  5. Expected: Only the value you filled in will be in the field

Proposed resolution

Remove the prefilled text. The description already mentions www.example.com as an example so not sure if it needs anything else.

Remaining tasks

  1. Update code
  2. Review and test
  3. Commit :)

User interface changes

The www.example.com text won't be in the Hostname field by default.
