# Watermark/Placeholder Text

### Overview

In legacy Construct, input controls could have Watermark Text and Watermark View property that displayed static and dynamic placeholder text.

Cloud Construct does not support the dynamic watermark text. Instead it is recommended to use the static watermark or placeholder text.

### Updated Methodology

**Static Placeholder Text:** Use the `placeholder_text` property on each field. This approach is limited to static values and does not support context-driven defaults.
