Description

Missing Descriptive Text for Elements:
The element associated with input fields does not contain descriptive text that clearly identifies the expected input.

MultiSelect Dropdown Error Display Bug:
There is a bug with the MultiSelect dropdown functionality where error messages are being displayed in an unintended location within the user interface. Instead of appearing directly below or next to the MultiSelect component, the error messages are shown elsewhere in the UI, making it unclear to users which input field the error refers to.

WCAG 2.1 Violation
