I already made an attempt, but it was before a release process + I'm sure my code can be improved.
See (task, test and screenshots): https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/merge_requests/816?commit_id=12abb6ded22562461fc35819ab3f6db2253fd68a
- Add a new option "labelasplaceholder" for tracker text field.
- Remove the then unnecessary label col
- Cancels the unnecessary samerow parameter as we don't use a label with the field name
- Better placement for the Mandatory star when this is used to keep it all in one line
