[pankajpandey01]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes. In some cases Avatar is just used for decorative purpose and should be ignored by accessibility tools.
For example: Avatar user name is shown in text beside the avatar, In this case Screen reader will read user name from text and also from Avatar accessibleName as shown below

Describe the solution you'd like

Hi @pankajpandey01,

Thanks for your feature request!
As per the new design requirements, this item should go through the inner source process. Could you please create a Jira item for Central Design and include the E1 reference number here?
Let me know if you have questions!

Thanks and Best Regards,
Dobrin

Hi @dobrinyonkov ,
I don't see any design change in this feature request. Its a a11y feature which will not affect design and it is already supported in UI5 https://ui5.sap.com//#/api/sap.m.Avatar%23controlProperties. So please let me know why central design ticket is needed?

Hi @pankajpandey01,

While the UI5 Avatar control supports this property, it is not currently part of the a11y specification. As such, the specification will need to be updated. Since the a11y specification is now managed by the design team, any updates or changes must go through their evaluation process.
