Comment (by poena):

 Hi!

 The placeholder text is optional. You need to add your own custom
 placeholder text, otherwise it will not show on the front.

 If you add a custom text, does it not show on the front?



 (The placeholder is opt-in because it is important for accessibility that
 the field does not include instructions. If someone adds instructions as
 the placeholder, then those instructions are removed when the user selects
 the field and starts typing. This can make the form difficult to use for
 people with cognitive problems or memory problems -or for anyone who is
 distracted.)
