found that comment, hope that helps

yeah this work around might work but required to to some stuff that i want to avoid (can hurt with future updates),
i will solve that with css [font size : 0 and add before with text content] or some other way its just feel very needed
(and pretty simple to add optional input prop).

@ArtemRomanovsky thanks for the time you took! 🥇

Is there any solution to this problem?

@cgonzalez-uy @Theinfinix500
there is a work around using css (hide text + insert text with :before on the element).
OR inheriting and changing the component (i will not recommend this).

hope they will update the component to support placeholder.

I solved a problem.
You can try with this one.
For example,

I can't input multi-lined message in this nebular chat form because it's input is nbInput, not textarea.
Could anyone help me?
