Placeholder for String field on the From

[Maria31]

Hello all,

Could you please advise how to add Placeholder (Example text) to the field on the form in ServiceNow? I need something similar to Example text added to Variables?

For example I want to add to Description field to Incident form the following Placeholder (Example text):

[srivallisam]

Create a onload client script 
function onLoad() {

    var field = g_form.getElement("u_name");

    if (field) {

        field.setAttribute('placeholder', 'Enter your name');

        field.style.color = 'red';

        }

}

Hi Maria,

You could navigate to field dictionary and set the default value of the field so it will always populate until field value is not overridden by user.
