I am encountering difficulties with Google autofill for fields that have placeholders. Despite attempting various solutions provided at: Disabling Chrome Autofill, none of them seem to work as needed.
The challenge is to create a form with different fields, some mandatory and others optional (rendering Ryan Grush's solution ineffective).
Attempts like setting autocomplete="false" or autocomplete="off", using "ghost" inputs in the form, and trying various methods to clear field values have not yielded the desired result.
While I could use JavaScript to hide labels as suggested by Ryan Grush, this approach conflicts with design specifications and should only be considered as a last resort. I am hopeful that someone has encountered a similar issue with Chrome and placeholders.
