How to add watermark information message on the string field?

[Aamir3]

Hi All,

I have a basic requirement of adding the watermark text on my String field called "justification" which is extended from the task table field "Description".  I need watermark text message information in the justification field, which will disappear once you write in that field. Can you guys please help me achieve this?

@Aamir3 You can create on load client script to show placeholder text in the field 

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var field = g_form.getControl('description');
field.placeholder = "Test Placeholder";
}

Hope this will resolve your issue.

Thanks,

RJ

Hi @Aamir3 

There is attribute called Example Text , which is available on Variables but not on fields. You can use Default value , but it wil not solve your issue

@Aamir3 I believe what you are looking for is called placeholder text which is text that appears in the field but disappears when a user inputs text. 

You can achieve this with the following client script (onload): 

var field1 = g_form.getControl('fieldName');
field1.placeholder ="Placeholder text";
