While the form elements function with or without the calendar and/or javascript, including the calendar icon in the form adds no value to screen readers since you can only navigate into that element. You can't actually use it. Your only option is to tab through it.
The calendar icon should be hidden from screen readers using aria. Patch to follow.

danchadwick commentedSeems reasonable. I'd like someone else with accessibility experience to review this and mark it RTBC.

liam morlandLooks good.

danchadwick commentedAll aria features are being deferred until D8. Marking as postponed so this can be tended to after the port is functional.

fenstratClosing to clear out the old Webform 8.x-4.x branch. See #2827845: [roadmap] YAML Form 8.x-1.x to Webform 8.x-5.x.

kreynen commentedReopening. This was RBTC for D7. Now that it's clear nothing from D8 will be backported to D7, can we just apply the patch that was RTBC for D7.
