I cannot get Dynamic Placeholders working in the content of email templates.  Whenever I try use a placeholder the result is that nothing appears.  I can add placeholders in the subject line manually but the manual ${} doesn't work in the content (email body) and the Dynamic Placeholder tool does nothing at all.


What are the steps to reproduce your issue?
1 - Create a new email template.
2 - Edit the Content (Body)
3 - Select Dynamic Placeholder using / and select Dynamic Placeholder tool.
4 - Choose any working variable and set or don't set default value.

What is the current behavior that you observe?
1 - The placeholder is not set and nothing happens after finishing with the Dynamic Placeholder tool. Test emails show nothing

What would be your expected behavior in this case?
1 - The variable or placeholder should be populated in test emails.


Notes:
1 - The placeholders work in the Subject when set manually. They don't work at all in the Content.
2 - I am using v16 with Chrome browser.

Hi Garth Van Sittert

Try selecting Placeholder options with only keyboard's arrow keys. Avoid using mouse or laptop touch pad.

Did you get any support? I'm facing the same issue. I do not even see the dynamic placeholder generator when working on email templates (in developer mode)

I have tried using keyboard only and it still doesn't work.  Nothing is added after completing the Placeholder.
