How to Set Placeholder for Change Request using Client Scripts

[PrashantLearnIT]

Hello Everyone,

In this video, I will cover scenario-based solutions which our implementations might require in various projects.

I have explained how to add Placeholder for certain fields in Change Requests using Client Scripts.

==========================CLIENT SCRIPTS============================

Table - Change Request
Type - OnLoad
Scripts -

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var short_desc = g_form.getControl('short_description');
var desc = g_form.getControl('description');

short_desc.placeholder = 'Please provide short details about this change.';
desc.placeholder = 'Please provide details in brief, what exactly this change is about.';
}

How do you get this to work in Workspace?

@Dan Gripping I've found that you can use g_form.setFieldPlaceholder('field', 'message') to do this.

e.g.

g_form.setFieldPlaceholder('short_description', 'Enter a short, descriptive title for the change request');

Very usefull, how can i add a css?

[wmcgrath]

Hi @Rafael Batistot - you can't use CSS for placeholders as these are text attributes of the text field.

Post a text version if you want to be helpful.
