Hi GF community — I know we can hide the label for a field (like, say, an email address for a newsletter signup, with a placeholder like “Enter your email” on the field) by just setting “Field Label Visibility” to “Hidden”, and on the front end it looks like it gets visually hidden with a combination of clipping, tiny width/height, and overflow:hidden. Gravity Forms gives you its warning that picking the “Hidden” setting will cause accessibility issues. [W3.org has some accessible options for hiding field labels](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/), and their first option is to visually hide the label (which GF is doing) but including a for=“inputname” to associate it with the field — which it looks like GF is _also_ doing. Does that mean it truly is accessible to hide the label with GF’s default visibility dropdown, or is there a better way to handle it? Thanks! ---
