# Placeholder text

Placeholder text the field that when included in a message, is replaced with the actual field value. However, you can customize the text with the use of Qlik Sense expressions.

To define the placeholder text, please follow these steps:

1\. Edit your sheet and select the Qommentary Form extension\
2\. Expand the *Input fields* section and field you wish to add placeholder\
3\. Scroll down to the Placeholder text property\
![](/files/lEeLvfjy6YK3vqq5mSIv)

4\. Enter the hint text you wish to display in the filed\
![](/files/hgWcUZSpWQQtXqHBnics)

5\. Enter an expression which would a return value based on given condition 

Working with field-level expressions provides greater flexibility and control to apply complex conditional calculations referencing more than one input field at a time.

**Examples:**

`=if(('col.Reports') = 'True', 'Please enter details of Reports here', 'Wait for Reports')`\
displays the placeholder text for field as '`Please enter details of Reports here`' if the Patient Reports are ready or '`Wait for Reports`'  if Reports are not available.
