tabindex does not work in record producer Description field in the Source code editor

[Dave65]

I am trying to add tabindex to the items in the Description field so that they can be tabbed to so a Screen reader will read them at a rate that the user can digest the information.
The Source Code editor allows you to enter tabindex into an HTML tag but, when you save the Record Producer, it gets deleted.
Also, you only seem to have a choice of values for it as 1 - 9. you can't add 0 or -1. Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

The images in the attachment were taken from my PDI which is at the Vancouver version.

We have the same issue in our production and sub-prad images at work.

Maybe use aria-flowto instead?

I haven't tried, this could also be removed/sanitized.

Can you share what is the data type of the target Description field?

Hi @Dave65 

OOTB there is no efficient way to defining a tab order by default.

However, one workaround that seems to work is creating a container and placing the two fields inside it. Use a split to move one field to the right column. Then, end the container and repeat the process. This allows you to arrange the fields from left to right for the first row, then from right to left for the second row, and so on.

I believe @Dave65 needs to enhance tabbing inside the (HTML) field/variable, not of the field/variable itself.
