I tried to override the placeholder of nameField in the EventEdit of Calendar by using the code below.

eventEdit: {
            items: {
                nameField: {
                    clearable: true,
                    label: 'New Label',
                    placeholder: 'New Placeholder'
                }
            }
        }

If you check the test case, you can see that New Label is displayed but not New Placeholder.

Works well to me. Try to upgrade your sources or reproduce in our online examples.

I tried using an example (https://bryntum.com/examples/calendar/eventedit/) for testing the placeholder and I still couldn't override it.
I forgot to say that I'm using Bryntum Calendar 5.0.3

The "eventedit" demo uses material theme, which doesn't show placeholders for fields. I cannot reproduce it with "New event" text inside as on your screenshot.
If you try it with another example, let's say, with "basic" one, you'll see that. As well as if you replace the theme for "eventedit" example to "stockholm".

It turns out that my problem is when I create an event, but when I edit an event, there is indeed no placeholder (that's what I want). In this screenshot, the placeholder is not what I want and it's been made in the "basic" example (https://bryntum.com/examples/calendar/basic/)

Thank you for your investigations. That looks like a bug, I've opened a ticket here: https://github.com/bryntum/support/issues/4568

Am I right in thinking that you do not want the placeholder to be "New Event" only when in create mode from dblclick?

If you configure your Calendar with this:

    modeDefaults : {
        autoCreate : {
            newName : ' ' // One space
        }
    },

Note that there is one space in that value. An empty string is falsy, so will not work.
The placeholder will not be visible:

It works for me!
Thank you for your time

That string is also localizeble.

You can add this to your locale file:

    Object : {
        newEvent : 'Nouvel évènement'
    }

And it would use that instead.
