TextInput component is missing placeholder option in one app, but available in another

[ACWH]

1. My goal:
   Hi people, creating this topic as I can’t seem to find anyone facing this issue.

   I’m trying to understand why the placeholder option is not available for text input in one app, but available in another.

2. Issue: Placeholder option is missing from inspector in one app, but not the other.

3. Steps I've taken to troubleshoot:
   I’ve tried copying the text input from the app with placeholder to the app without placeholder. Placeholder still doesn’t show up.

   I’ve tried creating a new app to see if issue persists, it doesn’t, and is exclusively happening in one app (created in December, still being worked on)

4. Additional info: Cloud APPs.

   Newly created App:

   

Another app:

App with issue:

Would appreciate any insight/inputs as to why this is happening.

Hello @ACWH!

I'm curious if your components need to be updated in the app where you're having issues? Do you see an option to update components in your app when you click the little ... button that is on the top right of your editor, located three buttons to the left of the Share button?

Also, have you possible tried duplicating the app and seeing if you have the same issue in the new duplicated app?

I am having this problem as well, and can see no option anywhere in the UI to update (… dropdown or otherwise)

Hey @ACWH welcome to the Community! @jswb welcome back!

Thanks for the details! This is odd indeed, but glad it's only happening in one app. If you are using the deprecated TextInput component, you should see an "Upgrade" button in your inspector.

Echoing what @AJVancattenburch suggested, could you try duplicating the affected app to see if the TextInput placeholder reappears? If it does, that confirms the original app got corrupted. Let me know what you find!
