TextFields have 3 properties in Monday Hero : 
Text: The initial text displayed by the text field. You can specify the text as a plain string or as an attributed string.
Placeholder: A placeholder is a text displayed by the textField when the string is empty. Typing any text into the text field hides this string. 
Left icon: You can add an icon to the left side of the textField.
