It would be nice to have the ability to set placeholders to fields
also set an input mask.

Hi Diane,

I’ve consulted a developer and I’d like you to try using the code below and see if it works. Please double check the ID and see if it’s #post_title or #post_tile
```
jQuery(function($){
   $("#post_title").attr("placeholder", "New Value");
});
```
Thanks!

Hi,

please use the translation files to modify placeholders, overwriting it with JS is not the correct way.
