Note that the Default Text option selected as the answer to this question may result in the default text being recorded as an answer:The Add Default Choices feature pre-selects an answer choice for your respondent. So if a respondent decides to skip this question, then your results will still display data as if the respondent had given an answer.https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/question-options/add-default-choices/
Adding my take here, as it's the first result on Google, and there are lots of variable answers in the linked answers.Placeholder text should disappear when the user starts typing, and won't be submitted as a value if it's left blank.https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#htmlattrdefplaceholderClick the "cog" button to the left of the question needing placeholder text, then "Add Javascript…"clear the default code, and paste the following codeupdate the PLACEHOLDER variable (in the example it's "dd/mm/yyyy")saveQualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { var PLACEHOLDER = 'dd/mm/yyyy'; jQuery('#QR\\\\~' + this.questionId).attr('placeholder', PLACEHOLDER);});This works for input and textarea (short and long text questions), and will survive the question being dragged into a new order.
