raised Ticket 1710851, we want permanent fix from your side in next release, we don't rely on workaround that you have provided.

here is ticket desc-

We are using Telerik ASP.NET MVC with jQuery and are strictly following ADA compliance. We are facing an issue with DropDownList controls.

We have a required DropDownList, which we currently mark as required by passing the required HTML attribute. However, the problem is that Telerik places the required attribute on the <input> element, while screen readers interact first with the <span role="combobox"> element. As a result, the screen reader does not announce that the field is required.

Screen readers (tested with NVDA and VoiceOver on Chrome) only read required when it is applied to the element with role="combobox". We understand that having aria-required and role="combobox" on different elements is likely causing this behavior.

All we need is for the required state to be announced by screen readers, so any solution that achieves this is acceptable. Currently, the Telerik method of placing the required attribute is not accessible to screen readers.
