Minimizing copying/pasting duplicate content like field labels and field descriptions

[michelle-rago]

We're investigating ways to insert controlled vocabularies, consistent field labels, and consistent field values to the standards page.

Pending status description

• The pending status description will not be the same for every pending standard. At launch, the site had three pending standards with a September 26, 2025 compliance date. Future pending standards will not have the same date.

Consistent field labels for standards in the research phase

*Notes about selected fields
Research questions

• This field ALWAYS has this line of description below the field label: We’re researching this potential standard. Research questions include:

Applies to

• This field will almost always have this value: Executive branch agency websites and digital services that are intended for use by the public

Acceptance criteria

• This field ALWAYS has this line of description below the field label: These conditions must be met to comply with this standard.

How to implement

• This field ALWAYS has this line of description below the field label: These are tips to help you implement this standard.

Feedback

• The feedback field is included with research and draft standards. At this time, it's not included with pending/required standards.
