"Community nickname" field in "Edit community profile" shows username instead of "Display name" as placeholder

Observed behaviour

The placeholder text shows your username which is not consistent since it falls back to your "Display name" if there is nothing but the placeholder text in the input field.

Reproduction steps

  1. Open "Edit community profile" in community settings.
  2. Go to "Community nickname" field.
  3. Remove any text in the field if any until it shows the grey placeholder text.
  4. Placeholder text will be your username.
