Description
There are hybrid objects in the modal window for creating a new card, they’re select fields that the user can also type in.
Unfortunately, they don’t work well with screen readers. When pressing the down arrow to move down to the select options the focus moves visually, but the screen reader only reads any text written in the field or “Empty” if the field is indeed empty.
This needs to be changed so it works with screen readers and thoroughly tested.

Research direction

Test keyboard navigation with a screen reader, especially Down Arrow movement through options. Done means the focused option is announced correctly for both populated and empty fields, with thorough screen-reader coverage.
