Smarty Templates - Variable Inside Variable?

Question

So I am currently doing a custom WHMCS template that uses the smarty template system. One of the calls is as follows:

{$customfield.input|replace:'>':'placeholder="Placeholder' >'}

Now this works in that it sets the placeholder with the text Placeholder. What I am trying to achieve is to get the following variable inside where the Placeholder text is:

{$customfield.name}

So I need something like the following:

{$customfield.input|replace:'>':'placeholder="{$customfield.name}" >'}

but that doesn't work.

Is this possible?

Drop the braces around the second variable:

{$customfield.input|replace:'>':'placeholder="{$customfield.name|escape:html}" >'}

That just shows $customfield.name inside the placeholder instead of the actual variable.

That doesn't seem to work either :( Doesn't show any input field so I guess it breaks the templating system.

Okay let's try that last edit. Then I'm fresh outta ideas. :(

Got the answer: {$customfield.input|replace:'>':"placeholder='$customfield.name' >"}
