    property for grouping UI elements (for example, group, tray, table)
    instead of the heading is not set.
    b) The "Accessibility Description" can contain additional semantic
    information instead of the quick info. In this case, none of these
    properties is set or context-bound.
    c) This element is a container whose "isLayoutC ontainer" property is
    not set.
    In addition to the grouping, the containert has semantic information
    that should be stored under the property "Accessibility Description".
    This property is not set, however.

    Using the quick info or the accessibility description, provide
    additional sementation information for the UI element.
    Define a suitable text for the accessibilityh description of the
