Hi,

In a custom template i have created i have multiple sections where i have custom boxes.  
I want the default text to be “Description” across all of my sections but instead it appears the name of the variable.  
Could you please suggest how i can achieve this ? I have tried a couple things already but i can’t seem to figure it out on my own.

Thank you,  
Stefan

```auto
{% stripnewlines %}
{% ic %}{% input custom.tick.section_E as:boolean %}{% endic %}
{% if custom.tick.section_E %}
{::font size="m"}**{% assign nbr = nbr | plus:1 %}{{ nbr }}) Stock/Inventory ledger management**{:/font}{% newline %}
{% else %}
{% ic %}{::font size="m"} Stock/Inventory ledger management{:/font}{% endic %}
{% endif %} 

{% if custom.tick.section_E %}

{% ifi custom.box.b5 != blank %}{% input custom.box.b5 as:text size:mini default:b5 %}{% newline %}{% endifi %}
{% fori item in custom.section_E %}
**{% input item.header placeholder:'Header' %}** {% input item.attachment5 as:file_collection %}{% newline %}
{% input item.description as:text placeholder:'Description' %}{% newline %}
{% endfori %}
{% endif %}
{% endstripnewlines %}

Hi Stefan

Thank you for your question.

When creating an input field, a standard placeholder shown, is the last part of your variable name. In this particular case it is _b5_ .

It is possible to change the placeholder with the placeholder attribute:

```
{% input custom.box.b5 as:text size:mini default:b5 placeholder:'Description '%}

```
