Can I customize the descriptive (placeholder) text on the "Description" field in a Jira Form?

I'd like to adjust the placeholder descriptive text in the "description" field in my Jira instance. I want to do this specifically for a Jira form so ideally, we are only adjusting there but I'm happy to make the change globally if thats the only option.

Hello  @Sargun 

What type of Space does this concern? Click the ellipsis button next to the Space name in the navigation panel on the left. What do the last two lines in the pop-up say? It will be something like:

Software space
Company-managed

Do you already have placeholder text in the native Description field? If so, how have you managed adding the text? I ask because that will impact the answer we provide.
