Placeholder problem for custom field

Resolved oaron

Hello,
I’ve created custom taxonomy (e.g. event_listing_method).
In the field editor, We created a new field (type is term multiselect, options is event_listing_method). It appears on the frontend (where the users can create a new event), but its placeholder is not correct. How can I modify its placeholder?
I found this solution on your website: https://wp-eventmanager.com/documentation/editing-event-submission-form-fields/
The problem is that submit_event_form_fields filter does not returns the custom fields, so I can’t modify its placeholder.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, @oaron

Did you also set placeholder text when you have created from the field editor?

field type is term multiselect. In this case, a dropdown list appears (placeholder/options), where I can select a custom taxonomy for that. There is no placeholder field.
Here is a screenshot about that: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k6wg92dos1hlgy2/screenshot-field-editor.PNG?dl=1
Thanks for your help!

Hi @oaron,

we don’t have placeholder in taxonomy. You need to apply filter.

You can check here and you can apply this filter.

I hope that it will solve your problem.

So how can I fix it?

Did you print whole array $fields and checked ? Normally $fields contains all the fields (custom and default)

Yes, and array did not contain custom fields.

Hi @oaron,

As of now, we don’t have placeholder functionality in field editor. In a future version, we will improve this.

If you want to customize and add placeholder then you can do it from your end from above filter.

Thank you
