[v6] Textarea ignores the placeholder #8736

Closed

Description

@medienbaecker

Description

In 6.0.0-beta.2 the textarea field no longer shows a placeholder, no matter if static or query. In Kirby 5.6.2 the same blueprint shows the placeholder.

Expected behavior

The textarea shows the blueprint placeholder, as in Kirby 5 and as the text field does in Kirby 6.

    @getkirby/dev i am thinking it should probably extend StringField and would gain it back that way

  2. added this to the 6.0.0-beta.3 milestone on Oct 28, 2026

    Yes, extending StringField looks like the right fix 👍
