Local fix
Problem summary
This problem has two causes: -The dijit radio button is missing the "aria-required" attribute and, therefore, JAWS cannot recognize if the radio group as required. The control is also missing "radiogroup" role. - The dijit checkbox does not have the "required" attribute and, therefore, JAWS cannot recognize if the checkbox is required.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.12 that adds attributes to enable screen readers to announce "Required" for dijit-based radio buttons and checkboxes.
