Impacted component(s)

Picker

Expected behavior

https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components/components/picker/#use-help-text-to-show-context The help-text should be announced by screen-readers and be able to both render and get an accessible association for help text with sp-picker

Actual behavior

https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components/components/picker/ (help text section at bottom) This doesn’t work as the help text isn’t in the same shadow so the describedby can’t resolve

https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components/components/help-text/#ensure-help-text-and-field-share-the-same-root Despite it saying that sp-picker supports a help-text slot the sp-picker documentation doesn’t agree
