Hi, I am using the page builder Brizy.
When I insert a text field, I can add Toolset custom field placeholders that are dynamically updated on the front end.
This works perfectly with text, URLs, images, etc., but it doesn't work with select fields (dropdowns).

Here's a screenshot that may better explain the issue:

Am I missing something?

Thanks. Best regards.

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support. I do not think the dynamic method for placeholder would work for fields such as select, radio or checkboxes.

The reason behind it is that the normal HTML functions are rendered by the Operating System for those HTML content.

So each device has a different style. For example, Mac and Windows have different UIs for Select and Radio.

Now page builders such as Brisy try to mitigate that UI difference by adding extra Javascript code that hides the default HTML rendering and they render a universal UI via Javascript which will work on all operating systems.

That extra feature is not compatible with Toolset and it is not possible for us to make a rendering of such items compatible with various implementations of various page builders.

Hope I could explain the situation.

Thanks.
