Help with Displaying Instruction / Help message text in a fields

Hey folks - I've seen where DE8 can display an instruction / help message in a field when the field is blank or when the cursor is not in the field.  This is not the typical Help message that appears in the bottom Help message display area.  Could anyone tell me how to access/use this functionality?  Many Thanks

Hi

To display a message in the field do as follows:

Click on the Help tab withing the field definition

Type:     [@placeholder:Your text..@]


Always start and finish with the highlighted text.
