ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name
What is the problem?
The aria-toggle-field-name rule ensures that all ARIA toggle fields, such as checkboxes and radio buttons, have an accessible name.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Screen reader users rely on the accessible name to understand the purpose of a toggle field. Without a clear name, they may be unable to determine what the field controls or how to interact with it.
How to solve this issue
To fix this, provide an accessible name for each toggle field using the aria-label or aria-labelledby attribute. This will ensure that screen reader users can understand the purpose of the field and interact with it effectively.
