Field labeling

I’d asked some months ago about the possibility of adding ARIA labels to VFB text input fields to make them more easily decipherable by screen readers. Since the existing label attributes are arbitrary values, they don’t give a screen reader much to work with in identifying which input goes with which label. That’s a significant obstacle to accessibility compliance.

It seems like what would probably needed would be to set an aria-label attribute with a default value equal to the applicable field name, with an option to enter a value to replace that default if needed.

I am NOT a developer, so I’m not capable of forking the plugin or writing a patch to do this. (I know how to add ARIA labels to inline HTML, but writing code to do it semi-automatically based on your existing GUI is way beyond my skill.) So, I’m asking again if this is a feature that could be added in future releases. Again, it’s an accessibility issue.

Thanks!
