Hello, I would like to be able to put a more explanatory hint when the edit is empty and when the person begins to write and the hint moves, then the description is more general, for example:

Empty Hint Text: Write your full name here or John Smith
Non Empty Hint Text: Full name (when begin to write and the hint move).

Another example:

Empty Hint Text: Write your monthly salary in US$
Non Empty Hint Text: Monthly salary US$ (when begin to write and the hint move).

I hope you consider these properties useful as I do and that it is easy and possible to implement for a future update.

Thanks

Rafael Liriano
