What is the easiest way to show a placeholder when an item selector is empty?

Hi community,

does any one of you know a nice solution for a placeholders in item selectors where users haven´t assigned an item?

I am looking for a solution for the following CM Form. As you can see I use 3 properties where users can assigned "Reviewers". The amount of required reviewers depends on the change it self, so it can happen, that a few of the fields are empty.

In my case I use some additional text on the right side of the properties that give some additional hints. But the text doesn´t look good when there were no people assigned. In this case there is a huge white gap between the additional text and the property label and it´s hard to see that the helptext and the property belong together.

From my POV a simple placeholder for empty item properties would be the easiest solution to improve this UI situation.

I don´t want to use additional html elements that are hidden/shown by Method. I would be more happy to find a global solution that is reusable across multiple Forms without having to add (and control) additional html placeholder elements all time.

I made some first successful test to simply overwrite the element by Method. As you can see in my picture, I was able to assign a custom text as item link (you can identity the property by it´s class)

It´s not possible to click the "-- No user assigned --" link, nothing will happen when user click this fake value. But already this simple placeholder brings some benefit. Also it still requires the use of an additional Method in the Form to make the value appear, so I wonder if we can simplify this task even more.

Does anyone of you knows other simple and fast solution to add these kind of placeholders?

Thanks for any idea!
