Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

when creating a new contact, "New contact" appears as text in the new contact details

Describe the solution you'd like

remove "New contact" from the 'name' fiels
keep 'name' and 'company' as example, as it is the case for the company field

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

i guess i makes it easier to save if the user forgot to give a name to the new contact
but i find it in the way every time i create a new company

Research direction

Start with the new contact details form and inspect how the Name field is initialized when creating a contact. Remove the "New contact" text while retaining the Name and Company examples, then verify that the new contact form displays the intended placeholders and saves correctly without a name.
