Edit custom field placeholder

Hi,

Well, unfortunately there is no option for that, but you can try a custom code for that.

Try adding this code to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_footer_change_filter_input_placeholder', 9999);
function wp_footer_change_filter_input_placeholder() {
	?>
	<script>
	(function(){
		let text = "My placeholder text";
		setTimeout(function() {
			document.querySelectorAll('fieldset.asp_custom_f input[type=text]').forEach(function(el){
				el.placeholder = text;
			})
		}, 100);
	}())
	</script>
	<?php
}

Change the text variable in the code for the input text you want.

Might be possible:

add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_footer_change_filter_input_placeholder', 9999);
function wp_footer_change_filter_input_placeholder() {
	?>
	<script>
	(function(){
		let fields = {
			"field-name1": "My placeholder text1",
			"field-name2": "My placeholder text2"
		};
		setTimeout(function() {
			Object.keys(fields).forEach(function(k){
				let text = fields[k];
				document.querySelectorAll('fieldset.asp_custom_f input[name*='+k+']').forEach(function(el){
					el.placeholder = text;
				});
			});
		}, 100);
	}())
	</script>
	<?php
}

In the code change the fields variable -> on the left side are the custom field keys, on the right side the placeholder for that field.
