HI! 
We're currently in the process of updating our applications to meet WCAG accessibility standards and are reviewing all of them as part of this effort. You may have seen my other post. Per our ESRI solution engineer has recommended that we post all issues in the community forum in addition to opening tickets. We're trying to collaborate and raise awareness of the issues we're seeing in our applications. We want to highlight ones that can be easily resolved by users and which ones fall under ESRI's purview.
 
Issue: 
Similar to another post I made, where some of the buttons were missing discernible test; I have an issue with a calcite-ship is missing alternative text that I cannot update. There's nothing in the instant app that let's me edit the image in the attachments section. 
 
Am I missing a step or where I can make this accessible from the Dashboard app? Or, does this need to be fixed internally by ESRI? Has anyone else encountered similar challenges? How are you approaching this? Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Steps to reproduce in app:

  1. open up application 
    1. change screen size and certain display sizes will boxes and enable scroll. 
  2. Run tool, we are use axeDev and it should match above image.

Hello, 
I noticed this was moved to XBD post but this is an instant app.

@sigccil Ahh, I guess this is the post I was looking at and where the mix-up begins, lol

Yes, indeed - it is an Instant App embedded in the ExB. You might need to reach out to them

@TonghuiMing Do I need to move this post to the instant app section or is that something that can be done on the ESRI side. I appreciate your help with this issue.

@sigccil Hi, I would recommend transferring this from your side. I am afraid I don't have the privilege to modify your post. Thank.

Posting here for posterity, I couldn't move the post so I just reposted it in the instant app page.
