I have an NSTextField bound to some NSString property via the selection

displays the selection placeholder, not the null placeholder. Why?

When I bind the field to the object directly (not via controller), I get
the null placeholder. Are the controllers not capable of doing this?


This is because the controller has no selection. When working with a
controller, whether it has a selection or not is dominant. Your first line of
attack is to determine why the controller has no selection...

No, the controller does have a valid selection and other fields bound to other keypaths of the same controller/selection (in other words same object, because it's a single-object selection) do show values.
