Expectation is for data grid to be compliant, our due date is by June 2025. Please let me know if they are already compliant and with what version.

WCAG 2.1 Violation

No response

Reproduction/example

NA

Steps to reproduce

Run the accessibility checker tool in the devtools against the data grid UI. This is the properties we have set on our component in case this is necessary to know.

const getDataGridState = (columns, data, initialState) => useDatagrid({
columns: columns,
data: data,
emptyStateTitle: emptyTableMsg,
emptyStateDescription: emptyTableSubtitle,
emptyStateSize: "lg",
onDataUpdate: setData,
toolbarBatchActionsDisplayMin: 7,
batchActions: true,
DatagridActions,
toolbarBatchActions: getBatchActions(props),
onRowSelect: (row) => dataGridHelper.updateRowsSelected(row),
onAllRowSelect: (rows) => {
dataGridHelper.updateRowsSelected(rows, true);
},
parentProps,
currentProps: props,
initialState,
rowActions: props?.newTransColumnMetaDataHelper?.getNewTransRowActions?.() || [],
endPlugins: [useDisableSelectRows],
shouldDisableSelectRow: () => props?.props?.newTransDataGridParms?.isSidePanelOpen,
},
useEditableCell,
useStickyColumn,
useSelectRows,
useFiltering,
useActionsColumn,
);

If you need to know how our inline editing properties are, message me on slack and I can send the file that we have on the setup for those.

We use Input field, dropdown select, checkbox, and number.

From what I see on the violations though it looks like it is primarily on button roles not having an associated label towards it. Another error that shows for me is this.

Interactive component with ARIA role 'grid' does not have a programmatically associated name

Expected due date on our end for fixes are June. Thanks!
