I need to placeholder to be set for a field

[siddharth26]

Am using on change client script, 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
g_form.setFieldPlaceholder('u_network_diagram','Provide the link to the current CDE diagram that reflects the changes being requested');

but its not working 

thanks

Hi @siddharth26 ,

Before you use placeholder by client script ensure your field is present on the form. If yes then you could achieve this with an onLoad client script.

1. 

var field1 = g_form.getControl('[INSERT NAME OF FIELD HERE]');

field1.placeholder = "Test Placeholder";

or

2.

Hi @siddharth26 ,

It's working for me:

Are you trying on filed/variable and which type of field it is?

If you are using to place it on variable use can use Example Text

Also check if you have any other UI Policy/Client Script running which is clearing this field value.
