Showing icon in Infolist TextEntry when the value is null

I'm toying with a Infolist and displaying some content using TextEntry. I wanted to add an icon for each TextEntry, but it seems it only shows when the value isn't null. Is there a way to show it even when the placeholder is shown ? Here's my snippet: 
TextEntry::make('repartition_key')
    ->label('Repartition key')
    ->fontFamily(FontFamily::Mono)
    ->placeholder('None')
    ->icon('phosphor-key')
    ->iconPosition(IconPosition::Before),
TextEntry::make('repartition_key')
    ->label('Repartition key')
    ->fontFamily(FontFamily::Mono)
    ->placeholder('None')
    ->icon('phosphor-key')
    ->iconPosition(IconPosition::Before),
Thanks for your help

try ->default() or ->formatState() I haven't used TextEntry personally but along those lines

Thanks, I've already tried default, i should have mentioned it. My concern is that it hides the placeholder which i want to display when the value is missing. It may be that rendering the icon is conditioned to the presence of the value, not sure if it is intentional

But the placeholder can be the default value? if default and placeholder didn't work. Just do: 
    ->formatStateUsing(fn($record) => $record->repartition_key ? '-' : 'None')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn($record) => $record->repartition_key ? '-' : 'None')

Right, but don't you loose the placeholder styling this way ?

Ahh I see, place holder styling has a slightly duller approach? so does the placeholder show still but without the icon? If so, I would suggest a PR or Bug Report, since if a placeholder is showing, the icon should show I suspect.

Yes, the placeholder is correctly displayed, but the icon is only displayed when the place holder isnt, and there is a value. I'll open a PR, thanks !
