Placeholder text with a formatted number

Question

All of the placeholder text I worked with in form fields has relied on a custom format script, but now I want to have a placholder of 0 for a field I want to be formatted with a currency symbol and commas (but no decimal points). If I use the custom format to achieve the placeholder with an if/else event.value, what code can I add to it to format the text with a dollar sign, commas and no decimals? I suspect it involves util.printf but I'm a little stuck as to how to actually write it.

But if I use a custom format script in the format tab in order to achieve the placeholder text, I can't also use currency formatting, correct? Or am I massively missing something?

Again, you don't need to mess around with a custom Format script. It's not needed.

You just need to use the On Focus and On Blur events.

Do you mean that you want to format the value if it's not "0"?
