Description

Nextcloud forms really is a great benefit.
But one thing is missing: Is it possible to edit the default "greyed" answer text.

Example:
My question is "Firstname".
The grey default answer is "short anwer" which can not be edited. I would love to change this grey text or leave it blank.
Is this possible?
Regards,
buch

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the frontend component that renders a question's answer input and its grey default text, then check how question settings are stored and edited. Done means the question author can replace the default text or leave it blank, and the resulting form displays that choice.
