Form field must not have multiple label elements
What is the problem?
The "form-field-multiple-labels" rule states that a form field should not have multiple label elements associated with it.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Multiple labels can confuse screen reader users, leading to uncertainty about which label is associated with the form field. This can hinder their ability to understand the form's purpose and fill it out correctly.
How to solve this issue
To fix this issue, ensure that each form field has only one associated label. If multiple labels are necessary, consider combining them into a single label or using appropriate ARIA attributes to establish the relationship between the labels and the form field.
