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.

Kindly mark my answer as Correct and Helpful based on the Impact.
