"Select this item" isn't a good field label for screenreaders

Created on 16 July 2024, 9 months ago

Problem/Motivation

For users of screenreaders, the field label on every checkbox/radio button will be "Select this item", which makes it hard to distinguish which entity the are selected.

Steps to reproduce

Open a media browser, inspect the HTML and look at the <label> tag. Notice that the checkbox or radio button for every entity has a label of "Select this item".

Proposed resolution

Change the label to "Select item ENTITY_LABEL".
