1. Turn on Screen Reader.
2. Log in to the application.
3. Open the home page.
4. From the user menu, select the intended user.
5. Open the year-end appraisal form at the final step where "Associate confirmation of discussion" is present.
6. Select "Associate comments" under "overall comments".

The label is not programmatically associated with the rich text editor field, violating WCAG 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships), so the screen reader announces only the generic control.

• A product fix is planned to address the missing label association for the rich text editor field.
• The fix is scheduled for release B2H2026 with the following dates: Preview on 12-Oct-2026 and Production on 13-Nov-2026.
• If the issue persists after the release, contact support and reference this KBA.
