Had a quick look at this this morning. The "bug" here appears to be that mul has never been implemented for the mobile termbox. There is no support for mul labels, descriptions or aliases either in view or in edit mode. It feels like the scope for this is bigger than the ticket description - addressing only the placeholder issue won't result in a good user experience. Beyond that, saying "should appear in grey" as the desired behaviour is also a long way from a UX specification. Do we have designs for how the mul feature is supposed to work on mobile?

Moving this to task breakdown while we wait for feedback on how the feature should be implemented.

Per feedback from @Arian_Bozorg, the plan is to implement the specific fix for the reported issue now, and Arian will continue to research how the mul feature is supposed to be implemented for Termbox.
