Labels for certain fields are not announced by JAWS. As an example within the “Content” screen, a field type list box is announced by JAWS as “List box -View All-”, instead of first announcing the label as, “Label list box -View All-”.
The defect exists in Google Chrome v117.0.5938.63 and also exists in Edge v117.0.2045.31.
Expected result: All labels for form fields are expected to be announced by JAWS. In this instance, JAWS is expected to announce, “Label list box -View All-”.
Reference: Section 508, 4.1.2 – Name, Role and Value and 1.3.1 – Info & Relationships.

1) Click on the content menu
2) Click on Add Content and select any content type
3) All labels are expected to be announced by JAWS automatically. For example, JAWS is expected to announce the navigated area such as a date, "Date: Date time edit Date 2023/07/11"

What is wrong with the form markup that causes this?
We need an aria-label attribute with the text for the screen reader to read.
For example, the markup should appear similar to as follows:
Let me know if you have any questions.
