I recently updated to Dashboard version 2.27.0

Before I could have the "Placeholder" displayed after sending an empty string, payload=""; Right now it looks like impossible to get the Placeholder back on the selection bar. I tried with:

msg.enabled = true;  
msg.enabled = false;  
msg.payload = false;  
msg.payload = "";

sending the optionlist again does not make a difference either.

Redeployment is the only way to get the Placeholder back. This worked well before although I cannot recall the Dashboard version I used before.

What to do?
