Answer 1

I don't find any proper solution but give you quick and good solution.

Magento checkout's input fields are render by Magento_Ul module component's file

vendor/magento/module-ui/view/base/web/templates/form/element/input.html

On this files, you need to changes

placeholder: placeholder to placeholder: label

So, first copy this html to your frontend theme folder

app/design/frontend/{Vendor}/{Themename}/Magento_Ui/web/templates/form/element/

On this input.html add this code:

<input class="admin__control-text" type="text"
    data-bind="
        event: {change: userChanges},
        value: value,
        hasFocus: focused,
        valueUpdate: valueUpdate,
        attr: {
            name: inputName,
            placeholder: label,
            'aria-describedby': noticeId,
            id: uid,
            disabled: disabled
    }"/>

Then, you need to add _extend.less at your theme folder

app/design/frontend/{Vendor}/{Themename}/Magento_Theme/web/css/source/_extend.less

add this code for hidden the label css:

.checkout-index-index label{display:none}

Then You must flush cache by run

php bin/magento cache:flush

Or delete all files from view_procecced, cache,page_cache.

Then you should static content deploy

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Answer 2

We have already solved this problem/feature in several projects with the following module:

https://github.com/mediarox/module-checkout-placeholder

It uses a so called "LayoutProcessor" to change the address fields on PHP side.

The principle can be seen in the documentation in the chapter "Add custom fields that influence other Checkout fields":

https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/howdoi/checkout/checkout_custom_checkbox.html

The "LayoutProcessor" copies the label string into the placeholder variable ("placeholder" property of the field). So you don't need to customize the input template as Amit mentioned.

Answer 3

Rather than changing in every input type template the most common and effective way is to change in abstract.js and make every template to take placeholder

Vender\Theme\Magento_Ui\web\js\form\element\abstract.js

Line no 30 as of now, change placeholder: false to placeholder: '${ $.label }'.

Of-course override in custom theme or even better to make js mixin to replace property of ui-component is much more preferred.
