InDesign Not Exporting Forms Correctly
InDesign 18.5 is not exporting form fields correctly. The fields have a description, which corresponds to a tooltip in Acrobat. The fields fail the Acrobat accessibility checker, which states they do not have a description. They do, but InDesign is not exporting it correctly. The only way to correct this is to delete and rebuild the form fields over and over and over until the error clears.

RESOLVED.
There was a duplicate "Name" field that was literally microscopic in InDesign. I am guessing it was maybe the size of a single anchor point. I could not find it by searching for the Font the field used under the Find Font menu. I could not find it by searching for any Object settings under Find/Change. I only found it at all because it showed in Acrobat. I was able to remove it by expanding the Layers panel in InDesign and deleting the object from there.

And now it *is* exporting the field description and that is showing as the tooltip in Acrobat properties, but it is still failing the checker.

I reverted to 18.3, which I have heard is a "stable" version, and the errors persist.
It was present on 18.2, 18.3, and 18.5.

And it is not anchoring the form field correctly, either.

Additionally, it is now failing the annotation.
