Can you disable field labels and use text in fields instead

  1. Where you have to fit a form into a limited space, for example a fat footer, is there a way to disable the field labels and use default text labels in the field which you then overwrite?

    Many thanks for your help

  2. There's no built-in way to add placeholder text right now. You can do this with a little customization though.. you would hide the existing field labels with a CSS rule, then you can use this method to add the placeholder text inside the inputs.

  3. I second the request for native support of watermarks/placeholders.
