Dynamic Text is a form tag added by Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension (DTX) that creates <input type="text"> form fields for forms created with Contact Form 7. It expands upon Contact Form 7’s Text Field form tag, accepting all of the options it does, along with these additional options introduced by DTX:

Option	Description	Example
Dynamic value	Set a dynamic default value. It can be static text or a shortcode. The value is shown in the form tag between quotes.	[dynamic_text inputname "Hello world"]
Dynamic placeholder	Set a dynamic placeholder value. It can be static text or a shortcode. See placeholder documentation for more details.	[dynamic_text inputname placeholder:Hello%20World]
Read only attribute	Set the readonly attribute to the element	[dynamic_text inputname readonly]
Cache Compatible	Enable cache compatibility mode for this field	[dynamic_text inputname dtx_pageload]

These settings are easily configurable using the form-tag generator.
