Placeholder not showing

[zdimaz]

new Choices(element, { searchEnabled: true, removeItemButton: true, placeholder: true, // or text ! allowHTML: true, itemSelectText: '', // Press to select noChoicesText: 'No choices', }); Select has attr options

But rendered input not

[ahmedtoolapp]

select element does not have placeholder natively You have two options :

• Using input type="text" instead of select
• Keep select and add new empty option to choices/items array

[stefan-korn]

can't you use "placeholderValue" config option?

In my case, an option with this definition resolved:

{
    label: "Pick a item",
    placeholder: true,
    disabled: true,
    value: -1, // Or null
  }

Sadly there are a bunch of cases where this will be ignored. The plan is it will be fixed in v11.0.0 once I get that branched merged in. For now v11.0.0RC4 is tagged on my fork.
