Ability to add the aria-live attribute to regions
Hi Team,
As part of our accessibility testing, we have been made aware that some of the dynamic content on screen should have ARIA labels like aria-live=“polite” and role=“region”. We have functionality where notifications are pushed to users and OOTB functionality is used to achieve this. But for accessible users, there is no ARIA label to notify the users of notification.
Regards,
Aditya.

I do not believe this is available in the product yet. (The capability to set your own aria-live attributes)
With that said, we do set the aria-live attribute in certain scenarios OOTB for you. A "notification" would be a prime area for this.
Can you expand more on the use case and type of notification you've setup that you are not seeing this attribute being generated?

I would create a non auto-wrapper section that would set a div with the aria-live attribute and inside the div include your auto-section using pega:include
<div aria-live='polite' role='banner'>
<pega:include name="myNotification" type="Rule-HTML-Section" />
</div>
