Kendo Editor placeholder cannot be changed after set

Hi,

if I change the [placeholder] input on a kendo-editor, the changes are not reflected.

Reproduction (forked from your example): https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-uqbchubd

Can you please take a look at it?

Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Indeed, as you had also figured out, the Editor's placeholder cannot be dynamically modified and a related error appears in the console upon trying to do so:

The reason why the Editor's placeholder cannot be changed dynamically is that the placeholder is created by a custom plugin, which is evaluated only one time on component initialization. For this purpose, the error message leads to the appropriate documentation page on our website:

I hope this sheds some light on the matter. I will mark the status of this bug report as "Declined" due to the behavior not being a bug in the Editor.

Zornitsa
