[User Story]: Auto-Clear Placeholder Text in Input Fields

[kallewesterling]

Role

As a assurance case editor

Desired Feature

I want the placeholder text in input fields to automatically clear when I select the field

Benefit

So that I can start typing immediately without the extra step of manually deleting placeholder text

Acceptance Criteria

GIVEN I click on an input field with placeholder text, WHEN the input field becomes active (focused), THEN any placeholder text should automatically disappear allowing me to type directly.

GIVEN an input field previously clicked becomes unfocused without any user input, WHEN I click away from the field, THEN the original placeholder text should reappear in the field.

GIVEN I have partially typed text into an input field and then cleared it, WHEN I click away from the field making it lose focus, THEN the placeholder text should reappear indicating the field is empty.

Dependencies

None.

Technical Notes

• Implementation should use standard web development practices for managing input focus such as adding event listeners for focus and blur events.
• Consider accessibility implications to ensure that changes do not negatively impact screen reader users or those relying on assistive technologies.
• Test changes across all supported browsers to ensure consistent behaviour.

I think this is already happening and thus, this is a null and void story.
