I would like to add placeholder text to a list. Is this feature still unavailable?

Does anyone have a workaround?

Every time we think about officially dropping support for our Gravity Forms Placeholder perk, we see a request for List field support. 😅

This will do the trick for you:

> **[Gravity Forms Placeholder](https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-placeholder/)**
>
> Add HTML5 placeholders to your Gravity Form fields.

Alternately, this would be readily possible with a little ChatGPT action using this filter:

> **[gform\_column\_input\_content](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_column_input_content/)**
>
> gform\_column\_input\_content: Customize content for column-based input fields in Gravity Forms for personalized form design.
