Can I add the placeholder attribute to a custom JIRA field in order to present additional info?
It seems I have control over the following properties for a given field:
Edit Field Details:
Configure Custom Field:
Field Configuartion:
But I can't find anywhere to modify the placeholder text
The placeholder attribute isn't guaranteed across every browser, but it would be a nice touch to provide additional information for supported browsers.
Here's a complete list of custom field configurations, but I don't see it there.
It might be possible to do with javascript in the element description, but a native option would be much better.
1. As the simpliest option - modify "atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\templates\plugins\fields\edit\edit-basictext.vm" this velocity and add placeholder ability (i.e. use description as a placeholder)
2. You can develop your own custom field with full support of placeholders in input.
Just to flesh out option 1
1) You'll have to find your home directory and then navigate to
\atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\templates\plugins\fields\edit\
On my instance, it was right here:
C:\Program Files\Atlassian\JIRA\atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\templates\plugins\fields\edit
2) Then open up the velocity templace file named edit-basictext.vm
Then add the following code to the input element:
placeholder="$fieldLayoutItem.fieldDescription"
3) You'll need to refresh the template cache after making changes:
You can do so by restarting JIRA, or changing the velocity.properties.
I couldn't quite get it to work, but that was what I had tried so far.

Hi Alexey,
Is there a way we can achieve this (placeholder) adding script or editing from UI side because I don't have access to the server.
Thanks

Hi guys, just follow up to this, can I remove Custom Field name in Portal and Put it just as Placeholder?
Customer is trying to save as much space as possible.

Is there any other solution since 2014 to put a placeholder in the comment ?
Actually, we use the comment to create a new JIRA on another project. In this case, we have to type some specific information and sometimes, some are forgotten. So the placeholder should be very useful.
