Accessibility Research: How should the app behave when a new form is added

[jeromeleecms]

Research the accessibility of tabs and auto-focus in forms. Verify that inline validation errors are accessible to non-sighted users.

In many parts of our app, there is the option to add new form elements.

Example:

When clicking on add outcome, a new text area appears:

What should the app do from a:

• Screen reader perspective (should the app announce the new form?)
• Focus perspective (should the focus on the app move to the new text field (1) or stay on the outcomes section (2)?)

This task is done when...

• [ ] we understand the most accessible way to handle tabbing and auto-focus in our forms
• [ ] inline validation errors are accessible to non-sighted users

1. From a screen reader perspective the app should announce when a new form is generated
2. The focus on SHOULD move to the newly generated field as it was created by the user input.

Thanks @itsonlydio - we are going to reassign this to a dev for confirmation / review.
