Requirement - I need to add name, value, role and state for form fields to enable accessibility as per this document https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/pdf/PDF12

Issue I am facing - I have added name, value, role and state for form fields using below code but Adobe Acrobat is not passing the accessibility check for forms generated using PDFKit. How can I create accessible PDF forms with tagged fields?

Code I tried -

    const myForm1 = doc.struct('P');
    doc.addStructure(myForm1);
    const myInput1 = doc.struct('Form');
    myForm1.add(myInput1);
    const myInputContent1 = doc.markStructureContent('Form');
    myInput1.add(myInputContent1);
   doc.text("Document Number", x, y);
   doc.formText("Document Number", x+95 , y, 160, 20, {
                    value: documentNumber,
                    defaultValue: '',
                    multiline: true,
                    readOnly: true
  });
 myInput1.end();

Hi all,
looks like an old ticket that has been created and based on no reply I suppose there's been no progress on that. I got exactly the same issue and no idea how to fix it, does anyone have some useful tip to help me out on this one?
Thanks in advance
