Not sure if this a bug or feature request. 😀  
When using the form feature, and make an input field required it overrules the placeholder text.  
Maybe an asterisk glyph after the title makes more sense.  
Thanks

Just here to confirm this is still the case.

Agreed - Required overwrites the display and since there is only one field, it loses the placeholder text. I am against workarounds, but in this case fairly easy and doesn’t require maintenance is to ADD the placeholder text IN the TITLE of the Field - however this is also flawed because if your placeholder text is too long, it doesn’t WRAP to a second line…you get the ellipses which you can’t mouse over to see. 😅

So, it’s a design flaw, and I report these as bugs. 😁

I’ve added this for design review.
