Expected behavior

Each LABEL element using the FOR attribute must reference a form control on the page. LABEL elements are useful for screen readers to read when they reference or encapsulate form controls.

Steps to reproduce

Sympa Accessibility Issue - 5 - was determined by an Automation Tool Evaluation using AInspector and Siteimprove Accessibility Checkers as automated accessibility evaluation tools.

After running these automation tools the following issue was identified:

Each LABEL element using the FOR attribute must reference a form control on the page. LABEL elements are useful for accessibility only when they reference or encapsulate form controls. Change the LABEL element with the FOR attribute value 'owner' to reference a form control. Also change the LABEL element with the FOR attribute value 'list_type' to reference a form control.
