      Expected:

      1. Consistent labels:

      • Ensure that the error message texts match the field names in the form.

      2. Offer assistance directly in the form:

      • Provide hints for inputs requiring specific values, such as 'now/M-3d+1M/M' directly next to the corresponding fields or in an accessible tooltip.
      • Provide examples of correct input values nad format.

      3. Highlight affected fields:

      • Describe errors in text form and identify the affected field. The cursor must
        be placed in the incorrect input field.
      • Error messages should be descriptive and help users recover from errors.

      4. Screen reader output:

      • Ensure that all error messages are descriptive and accessible by screen readers.

      5. Use of color coding

      • Use color highlights only in addition to textual information.

      6. If possible, implement client-side validation

      • Verify the field values in real time and across all fields before
        the form is submitted.
      • Immediately display and describe errors.
