When using date and time fields, the field placeholder uses the format tokens rather than the output format, which are unexpected formats for editors.
For example: a time field with “h:mm a” could display “1:00 am” or some other representative time to show the editor how the time should be entered. The date field is has the same issue: “MMMM D, YYYY” would be better represented as “January 1, 2026” to illustrate the resulting format. The placeholder could always take the minimum or maximum of the token as a general rule.
