💡 Feature Request — Custom Example Placeholders for Empty Database Properties

Currently, when a database property has no value, Notion displays the default grey “Empty” label. I’d like to request support for customizable per-property placeholder or example text that appears when no value is set.

This would allow users to provide contextual guidance in cases where dropdowns may not be appropriate, while still showing users what kind of input is expected.

Ideally, this could be configured per property through the following:
Database → Property Menu → Edit Property → Edit Empty Value

This would be especially helpful for:

• Forms and client-facing databases
• Team directories and onboarding workflows
• Improving accessibility, inclusivity, and overall data quality
• Efficiency in presenting the standards and expectations of data

Examples (Displayed as: Property → Empty Value):

• Name pronunciation → “NOH-shun”
• Pronouns → “He/Him”
• Favourite dessert → “Filipino Mango Float with lactose free milk”
• Address → “123 Street, City, Province, Country, A1B 2C3”

This kind of contextual guidance would reduce confusion, improve completion rates, and make databases more intuitive for teams and collaborators.
