    Hi David,

    Thanks for reaching out to us for help. It is possible to inject the CSS code and modify the font color and weight of the placeholder text in the Configurable List widget. You can copy and paste this code and let me walk you through the steps below:

    input::placeholder { color: yourColorCode; font-weight: yourWeight;}

    I've used for an example:

    input::placeholder { color: teal; font-weight: Bold}
    1. Open your form in the Form Builder.
    2. Select the Configurable List widget and click on the wand icon to open its settings.
    3. Go to the Custom CSS section at the top of the settings panel.
    4. Inject CSS code to target the placeholder text. Click on the UPDATE button. That's it.

Do note that CSS code only works with the Classic Layout of the form, not with the Card layout form type.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
