Value Placeholder hint text for IR reports?

Bill CarlisleMar 15 2018 — edited Mar 19 2018

Hi All !

I've searched and found nothing to provide my customer with hint text displayed in an IR Text column item when no value for that item is entered.

This is for the form text item but not for an IR field

Value Placeholder

Enter hint text displayed in this item when no value for that item is entered. Once any text is entered into the item, the hint is removed.

What I am looking to do if I can not find a clean APEX way is:

In the SQL statement of the IR if the value is null have it display “Add Note…” with a class to show as light gray.

Then onFocus the text would be cleared, then on loseFocus the field would be checked, and if null the “Add Note…” would be replaced, or whatever you had in there??

But then you couldn’t clear info you entered… BUT... If I typed in several lines of text, tabbed out and then realize I needed to tweak the text, the onFocus would clear all my work and I would be upset!

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Bill Carlisle
