How can I add inside a field info and when the user start typing the info disappeared

Hi,

How can I add inside a field info and when the user start typing the info disappeared. for example:

'Please write a short description' inside the short_description field

Hi @Alon Grod,

This is easily achieved by leveraging the g_form.getControl() method as demonstrated below.

Example syntax:

var desc = g_form.getControl('description');

desc.placeholder ="Example placeholder text";

Best practice would be to implement this via a UI Policy ensuring this is called and executed last on the form load. Screenshots are provided below using the 'Description' field on the incident form.

The placeholder text is only visible when the chosen field is empty. As soon as a user starts to type, the placeholder text is removed.

To help others (or for me to help you more directly), please mark this response correct by clicking on Accept as Solution and/or Kudos.

Thanks, Robbie

@Robbie hi its working for a string field like 'Description'. Is there any way of doing this to a reference field or maybe add a help text above or next to the reference field? (Not in record producer but when you want to create an incident from Service Operation Workspace)
