What does this do?

  • It adds htmlFor and id props to Label. <label> includes both of them. In case of prebuilt Label, normalizeLabel clones and injects the props when not existing.
  • In case of <fieldset> components (CustomCompoundInput, RepeatingInput, TabularCompoundInput, InputTable), labelale forwards label as a prop instead of rendering and the component renders a <legend> element.
  • CheckboxInput: remove redundant wrapping
  • AutocompleteInput: forward id in read-only mode

Why are we doing this? (with JIRA link)
In the edit-record view there are a lot of orphaned labels (labels not associated to an input). The solution is to add a htmlFor label attribute pointing to a newly added input id. This task is only about fixing the orphaned labels. The missing labels, missing legend issues will be resolved in other tasks.

How should this be tested? Do these changes have associated tests?
Please follow test instructions here: collectionspace/cspace-ui.js#351
