fix: handle dynamic content case by case #4905

Contributor

The current strategy for handling dynamic content in a form has been to use a parent live-region. While this technically works it makes dynamic updates for AT very verbose resulting in bad UX. For example, when a large show-hide block is shown, all the content is announced. Or if a dropdown is dynamically populated with a large list, the entire list is read out on load.

The solution involves handling dynamic content on a case by case basis. More info on the solution can be found in the PR #4905
