[2.3 beta] Use of @placeholder on other fields to aid input

[nickdunn]

The use of $param placeholder in the DS editor is great. Reduces annoyingly verbose help text. Is there anywhere else this could be applied?

• the URL Parameters input on the page editor, param1/param2 or similar, since there is nothing in the UI to indicate they should be separated by slashes

That's as long as my list got.

Perhaps if the Text Input has a link validation rule it displays http:// as placeholder?

Added your example as it's low hanging fruit (and a pretty good boost to UX as well!)

My comment is more complicated and more prone to error as only the regex is stored in the database, not the 'validator name' so working this out would be involved than I'd like. I'm also having second thoughts on how accurate http:// would be in this scenario.

Leaving open for others to brainstorm on @placeholder opportunities but to be honest I think we have most of them :)

Adding placeholders would be a nice addition to your Custom Field Captions, Brendan. An option to switch between label or placeholder text.

Good idea!
