3832122 - Validation error message does not focus the corresponding field or activate with keyboard in Form Details (How Rating) in SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals

• After saving with a required field left empty in the Form Details page (How Rating table), validation error messages appear.
• Keyboard focus does not move to the corresponding field associated with the error.
• Activating the error message link using Enter or Spacebar does not work (the link is not keyboard-activatable).
• Screen reader announcement: "Select a value for How Rating. Click the link to jump to the issue. Error."

1. Open the application and navigate to the section listing performance forms.
2. Open any form and go to the Form Details page.
3. Navigate to the How Rating table using the Tab key.
4. Leave a required field empty and select Save.
5. Move focus to the displayed validation error message and attempt to activate it using Enter or Spacebar.
6. Observe that focus does not move to the corresponding field and the error link is not activated via keyboard.

Defect in section-level validation error behavior: error rows were only clickable by mouse and did not support keyboard activation (Enter/Space) or move focus to the associated field.

1. Update to release B2611 (2H2026) or later, which contains a code fix so that section-level validation error rows move focus to the corresponding field and can be activated with Enter and Space.
2. After updating, reproduce the scenario to confirm that keyboard activation and focus movement work as expected.
