Any way to change the "data-placeholder" value to change the text of an empty control?

Been working on it here http://jsfiddle.net/qy85emc8/8/ Can't figure it out.

Hello Todd,

The placeholder can be changed by using the placeholder configuration option. Currently, there isn't a public API for dynamically changing the placeholder dynamically but if it possible to achieve this by changing the options and using the internal _placeholder method:

var multiselect = $("#kendoMultiSelect").data("kendoMultiSelect");
multiselect.setOptions({
 placeholder: "New Placeholder"
});
multiselect._placeholder();

to immediately update the shown value.

Regards,
