Hi fellow Adapteers

While testing Adapt's Accessibility it became clear that the mcq component's mcq-items has the type "checkbox", which is read outloud by a screenreader.

However, if the mcq only has one selectable answer, they essential becomes radio buttons, but their type is unchanged.

Shouldn't the type be changed to type="radio"? Is their a reason for why it doesn't?

 

Thank you,

Henrik

Because radio buttons use different keyboard controls and aren't consistent across browsers.
