Bold Text Field

I want to set up the properties in a fillable text field to be bold when the user starts typing in the text field. I don't want to rely on the user to bold the text the user enters.

Can I set up the properties this way?

"I was curious if the user wanted to employ a script that changes to bold text when typing and back to regular text if the field is cleared."

Me too, but in fact it has no interest since when a text field is empty it displays nothing.

And "nothing" in bold or not changes nothing.

I didn't ask anything, I was answering your question.

When using a bold font in a text field it is persistent.

To change the font of a text field, you must do as indicated above or use JavaScript.

Thank you as usual for your guidance JR.

I was asking the user if he wanted to do something different.

I was curious if the user wanted to employ a script that changes to bold text when typing and back to regular text if the field is cleared.

++Adding to JR Boulay's guidance,

I was curious if what you're asking is that the text field should keep its default field properties, and then switch to Bold text the moment something is typed in.

Converseley, if the user deletes the data, and the field becomes empty, should it switch back to regular text?
