RE: Place holder (explanatory/watermark text) for Option set in CRM Portals

Hi Samhitha,

Are you referring to the placeholder text which appears inside the field? If yes then that is more applicable for text input fields. Option set will already have values populated so you can go for the above suggestion of displaying a tooltip (recommended) , or make the first option text as "Please select..." and set it as default.

Hope this helps.

you can enable the tooltip through metadata: community.adxstudio.com/.../entity-form-metadata

or also add through JS: community.dynamics.com/.../295619
