Date format: How to hide the placeholder

For the Date field, I selected the dot as separator, the German date format TT-MM-JJJJ, and "Nothing" as standard date. Still, the field is by default filled with "dd.mm.yyyy". I would have expected to see an empty field. Is there a way to get rid of "dd.mm.yyyy" because it doesn't mean anything to German users. Programmatic assistance can always supplied below the field instead of in it.

I'm afraid its not possible to change the placeholder text.

However, if you disable lite mode the date will split into three fields:

And if you also change your form language to German.

Your date will display like this:

Hope that helps!

If you want to hide the dd/mm/yyyy hint then you can add this CSS code:

::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* Chrome/Opera/Safari */

  color: white;

}

::-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 19+ */

  color: white;

}

:-ms-input-placeholder { /* IE 10+ */

  color: white;

}

:-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 18- */

  color: white;

}

It will make your date field look like this:
