Overall, it looks a great improvement to me. It fixes a clear accessibility issue and an inconsistency with similar blocks e.g. the Archives block.
I'd think these two blocks should work in the same way for users, and hteir controls should be placed consistently. Of course, it can be done in a follow-up.

The editor uses two different options for toggling the display of labels:
Because this is option is conditional; only available when the drop down option is enabled, it makes sense to move it to the sidebar. |

Nice one. The only thing that stands out to me is this one: The fact that the label field appears and disappears like that is a little bit confusing, because it is mixed in visually with the other toggles. One small thing you could do is indent it, to indicate that it's a toggle that's dependant on the parent:
Whatever left padding those checkboxes have, if you can appy that to the label toggle, it'd arguably help. Another option is to do that, but also permanently show the indented label toggle — just show it grayed when the parent is untoggled. Something to consider. |
|
If we want to use this design, should it be implemented on all controls that show conditionally depending on the state of a "parent" ?

Do you mean we should have guidelines that should be followed in similar contexts? If so, I agree. |
|
Great, I do think there are some inconsistencies. A separate tracking issue may be needed to solve them. Does this PR need any other changes? |
|
This would work for me, but unfortunately I won't have time to check the code otherwise:

So, do I need to change the design back to what it was? @jasmussen |
|
I have hid the "Show label" control unless the "Display as dropdown" option is enabled, and kept the indentation. |

What?
Updated January 3 2024.
Right now the Categories block in dropdown mode does not show a visual label.
This pull request makes the label text customizable and visible by default if the block's dropdown option is enabled.
Closes #11003
Why?
A label is required because the select list is a form element.
The label is always present in the markup, but before the PR, it was not editable.
So even if the user kept the label visually hidden, they were unable to edit the label based on context.
There was no way to differentiate the blocks if multiple of them were placed together.
There was no visible label in the editor, and no option to show the label on the front.
How?
Adds two new block attributes to the categories block: label and showLabel.
Replaces the hard coded label with richText so that users can change the text.
Adds a toggle button in the block sidebar that toggles the visibility of the label. This option is only available when dropdown option is enabled.
Testing Instructions
Testing Instructions for Keyboard
I tested this with VoiceOver on Chrome, mac.
Create a new post or page
Insert a categories list block.
Navigate to the block settings sidebar. Navigate past the tab selection until you reach the Settings tab-panel.
The first option in the settings tab-panel is the "Display as dropdown". This is a tickbox. Pressing space or enter should change the state from unticked to ticked.
Navigate back to the block in the editor canvas.
When the block is selected, the block name is announced.
Press the down arrow key. The screen-reader should announce that you are on a label element and that the text can be edited. It should read the current label text, and that the inserter is at the end of the text.
Editing the text should read out the individual letters.
Save, and continue testing the block on the front.
Navigate to the menu-popup in the content. Confirm that the text you entered in the block's label is announced when the select list is focused.
Screenshots or screencast
In the video, I add a categories block and enable the option "Display as dropdown". Then I click on the visible label and i enter a custom text "Cats". Then I select the text and make the text bold by clicking on the option in the toolbar.
I view the block on the front of the website. Then I go back to the editor, turn off the "Show label" option, save, and go to the front of the website. Here I use the browser developer tools to check that the label is present, but visually hidden.
