The place holder text does not change color when setting the prop style text color so its clashing with my background.

I’ve tried changing the placeholder prop to an object and adding text and color but cant get it to work.

I’m on the latest nightly if that makes a difference, more then likely I’m missing something obvious.

There isn’t a way to change the Placeholder text color within Ignition. Due to the way the placeholder pseudo-element is implemented in CSS, it isn’t something that can be adjusted via inline styles. I have added a feature request to potentially implement this functionality in the future.

Thanks,  
Garth
