TextField placeholderText not shown when setting inputMask

Mr Pang

Hi,
I have just found that if I set inputMask property ,placeholderText is not shown.
placeholderText: qsTr("input your key here.")
inputMask: "99999"

What is the problem?

It seems the placeHolderText is conflicting with the inputMast.
I never encountered this problem as I always use a home made text input with a dedicated Text qml item for the placeholder.

If you want to stick with TextField, you think this work-around could match your need...

TextField{
        placeholderText: qsTr("input your key here.")
        onActiveFocusChanged:{
            inputMask="99999"
    }
