Form placeholder attribute outputs even if empty?

[stephenmeehanuk]

Hi,

In my form, I'm using this to conditionally show placeholder

{{ if placeholder }}placeholder="{{ placeholder }}"{{ /if }}

But it outputs placeholder="" to the page, even when there's no placeholder value in the .yaml file

resources/fieldsets/contact_form.yaml

laravel.log shows this message

local.DEBUG: Cannot render an object variable as a string: {{ placeholder }} 

This is my partial

{{# field_value = full_name #}}

{{ fields where="handle:{field_value}" }}
<div>
    <label class="{{ view:label_styles }}" for="{{ handle }}" >{{ display }}</label>
    <div class="relative">
        <input class="{{ view:input_text_styles }}" type="{{ input_type ?? 'text' }}" name="{{ handle }}" id="{{ handle }}"  value="{{ old }}" >
    </div>    
</div>
{{ if placeholder }}placeholder="{{ placeholder }}"{{ /if }}
{{ /fields }}

How come the if statement doesn't work?

what does {{ placeholder | dump }} show?

Also, let's see the form blueprint.

Apologies for the late reply.

I figured out what my issue was...

I had a global called placeholder

{{ placeholder | dump }} was referencing that global!
