This one is the BEST answer!

I was trying to add it to our git repository but in the meantime you can download it from my drop box

Hi,
You may have to make a copy of the Text Area widget to create a custom widget. I have an example and once I figure out where to put the example I will link to it here.

Hi Joe
Any luck with the placeholder.

Could you tell me how I can edit the Current Text Area Widget.
perhaps I can see the Settings used for Input Widget and use the same in the text Area.

Thanks

To extend a widget first open it in UI Designer by opening a browser to:
http://localhost:8080/designer/#/en/widget/pbTextArea

The format for the other widgets follow the same pattern. Then "Save as" a copy and edit your custom widget.
