I have the latest version of GF and made a Multiselect field. In enhanced mode the placeholder for the fields says 'Click here...' I have no idea how to translate this using the suggested form description. The only option for now seems to be PHP coding, not my cup of tea. Pleace advice.

It will be get overwritten when we release an update and we always recommend users run the latest version. But you could certainly search the plugin for that line of code and change it there. jorge ocampo on "How do i change the default form text?

Currently this isn't translated via language files, you would edit the form settings and change the form description which is what this is. I can see about having it added to the translation file, but currently it's designed to always be edited and changed when you create a new form. jorge ocampo on "How do i change the default form text?
