Looking for CSS customization to change the placeholder text in the newsletter form on the homepage to change from "First Name / Last Name / Email Address" to "Name / CDSBC Number / Email." Much appreciate any help!

Add to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > Footer

<script>
(function() {
document.querySelector(".first-name input").setAttribute("placeholder", "Name");
document.querySelector(".last-name input").setAttribute("placeholder", "CDSBC Number");
document.querySelector(".email input").setAttribute("placeholder", "Email");
})()
</script>

I'm attempting to use this same code on my form, but I suspect that with the form updates, something has changed as it's no longer working. Do you know what the issue could be?
