Placeholder for association filters (DataGrid2)

0
Hi everyone,   we upgraded from Mendix 9 to version 10.15.   We noticed our dataGrid2 looks different now, specifically the dropdown filter for associations does not have a "Placeholder" text anymore.  We liked to have the placeholder text as a caption inside the input to save some space of the overall table header.   This does not seem to be possible anymore? Anyone who had a similar issue and was able to fix it? Every idea is appreciated.   Thank you! BR Markus

Hi Markus, are you referring to this option?

For the reference dropdown the "empty option caption" is not the same as the placeholder text, it is just the first value shown in the dropdown resulting in clearing the filter.

 

What I am looking for is a text that is already displayed inside the input field when opening the page.

The other filter options have a placeholder text as seen in my screenshot. For the multi-select dropdown via reference that option seems to be gone in Mendix 10.

 

Something along the line of "Select your country..." inside the dropdown.

 

If you have any ideas or workaround Micha I'd be super happy!
