Date Picker is missing placeholder

[AaronSadlerUK]

The date picker should have the placeholder configuration setting.

On forms which do not use labels, the field is completely blank, the placeholder is a supported attribute for this input type.

Thanks, not sure why it's not implemented at the moment. Would you expect there to be a text in it, or a default date/time? Just looking for the practical use case here.. not sure I've seen date fields with a placeholder before. 🤔

@nul800sebastiaan On this particular clients form there are no labels, only placeholders, the date of birth field being the one in question.

I have created by own custom field type to solve this, however for what is 2 lines of code in the filedtype definition, I feel it should be there...

[Setting("Placeholder", Description = "Enter a HTML5 placeholder value", View = "TextField")]
        public string Placeholder { get; set; }

Cool! I didn't realize the date field by default just looks like an empty textbox, definitely nice to allow a placeholder text there! 👍
