[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["The `Select.setPlaceholder()` method sets the placeholder text for a select element, displayed when no value is chosen. It accepts a string argument (`placeholder`) representing the desired text. The method, when called on a `ui.Select` instance, modifies the instance and returns the same `ui.Select` instance, allowing for method chaining. The `ui.Select` instance is passed as the argument 'this'.\n"]]
