Does the autocomplete attribute apply to the currency dropdown and Amount input fields on the transfer page?

[ManojG-Ally]

User is accessing a balance transfer page where they need to select the currency and then enter an amount in order to move funds from their account to a trust, org, etc.

In such scenarios, do we test the 1.3.5 SC?

Although we have token values listed as "transaction-currency" and "transaction-amount" in the HTML 5.2 autofill tokens
The confusion is when and where these tokens are to be used and in the above-said scenario, whether these values are applicable.

I would actually argue that those two values have actually nothing to do per se with "information about the user", which is what 1.3.5 is scoped to. To me, it seems a mistake that they're included.

transaction-currency - The currency that the user would prefer the transaction to use
transaction-amount - The amount that the user would like for the transaction (e.g., when entering a bid or sale price)

with transaction-currency, I can almost justify it to myself that this is about the user/the user's preference, but transaction-amount really has no business being counted as "information about the user".

What if there is an Investment page where the user is investing same amount every month?

[patrickhlauke]

that's not intrinsic information tied to the person though, I'd argue. it's scoped to that specific transaction, it's not something that "on any page about transactions, this is what the user will always want to invest"

[patrickhlauke]

in short, to answer the original question, I would personally ignore those two transaction-* values, and argue that this is a flaw in WCAG's listing if challenged
