Description
The Gravity Forms Placeholder perk enabled the addition of HTML5 placeholders to your Gravity Forms fields, providing short inline hints inside input fields and textareas to guide users on how to fill out the form correctly.
This functionality added a new setting in the form editor where you could specify placeholder text for each supported field, including multi-input fields like Name and Address. The placeholder text appears inside the field but disappears once the user starts typing, improving form clarity and user experience.
While this perk made it easy to add placeholders without extra scripts, it has been deprecated because placeholder support is now built directly into Gravity Forms. It remains useful only if you need placeholder support specifically for List fields.
Using placeholders reduces form clutter by offering contextual guidance without relying on visible field labels.
