Issues pertaining to a future major release of Carbon
After discussions with Accessibility we have decided to remove current placeholder text from the fields of Dropdown and Multiselect. However, the Multiselect and Filterable Multiselect
selected states
can still provide text in the field along with the number tag to help inform the user that options(s) are selected.When we discussed this in the CAG call, there was potential dev concern around if this would be a breaking change for the end user if they were currently placeholder text in product for these components. It was mentioned that we could think about having a deprecation warning for placeholder text in dropdown and multiselect for a few releases if it makese sense to. For reference, we previously did this same change to the Select component #13008 and I know in the past we did this with Combobox and Filterable Multiselect.
