I am trying to: Add a placeholder text for a WYSIWYG editor using cred_field "placeholder" argument as explained on the following documentation
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-shortcodes/#cred_field

I expected to see: the placeholder text rendered in the WYSIWYG editor

Instead, I got: a WYSIWYG editor without a placeholder

Additional information: the WYSIWYG field is the post's content field, not a custom field.

This is the snippet of the CRED form

<div class="form-group">
<label>Ticket Content</label>
[cred_field field="post_content" output="bootstrap" placeholder="Ticket description"]
</div>

Hi Haryono,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I dont believe that you can add placeholders for WYSIWYG fields, however it is possible to have the placeholder for other field types.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi, Shane.

I understand that WYSIWYG is not a just a simple textarea element that supports placeholder attribute.

Thank you for your help.
