Overview
Text field elements are input fields where users can enter and edit text using the device's keyboard. Text fields use Apple’s native text field.
Element Properties
Placeholder Text
Enter the text that will appear in the text field before a user begins typing in it.

Text Field Style
Set the text field's style to None, Line, Bezel, or Rounded Rectangle. In order below:
Customize
Colors
Set the colors for the text field's value fill and placeholder fill.
Text Properties

Text Content Type
Set the text field's expected input type so the system has information.

While Editing: The clear button is always visible unless the user is editing the text field.
Unless Editing: The clear button is only visible when the user is editing the text field.

Password
Set if the text field’s value should display as a password. Anything the user types will show as dots like a password field, not as text characters.
