Hi!
It's strange becouse label properties are used only for displaying labels.
Please show code example.

This following is my code:

`$provider = new ArrayDataProvider($actions->toArray());

        $input = new InputSource($_GET);
        $sortingInput = new InputOption('sort', $_GET);

        $grid = new Grid($provider, [
            new Column('id'),
            (new Column(trans('name')))
                ->setLabel(ucfirst(trans('labels.name')))
            ,
            (new Column('section'))
                ->setLabel(ucfirst(trans('labels.section')))
                ->setValueCalculator(function($row){
                    return $row->section['name'];
                })
            ,
            (new Column('actions'))
                ->setLabel(ucfirst(trans('labels.actions')))
                ->setValueCalculator(function($row){
                    return "<a href='".route('actions.show', [$row->id])."'><img src='/images/icon_ver_off.png' width='26'></a>
                        | <a href='".route('actions.edit', [$row->id])."'><img src='/images/icon_edit_off.png' width='26'></a>
                        | <a href='".route('actions.delete', [$row->id])."' onclick='return confirm('".trans('messages.delete')."')'><img src='/images/icon_eliminar_off.png' width='26'></a>
                        ";
                })
            ,
            new FilterControl('name', FilterOperation::OPERATOR_STR_CONTAINS, $input->option('name')),
            new FilterControl('section.name', FilterOperation::OPERATOR_STR_CONTAINS, $input->option('section')),
            new PaginationControl($input->option('page', 1), 10),
            new ColumnSortingControl('id', $sortingInput),
            new ColumnSortingControl('name', $sortingInput),
            new ColumnSortingControl('section', $sortingInput),
        ]);

        BootstrapStyling::applyTo($grid);`

I just want to change the default label and placeholder generated by the FilterControl in the end of the code.

1. When creating control save it to variable for easy access

$nameFilter = new FilterControl('name', FilterOperation::OPERATOR_STR_CONTAINS, $input->option('name'))

You can use this expression directly when describing components array, just add $nameFilter = before filter instantiation in your code.
2. FilterControl by itself isn't responsible for how it looks, it has view component inside, if you look to https://github.com/view-components/view-components/blob/master/src/Component/Control/FilterControl.php you will see that there is simple template view with template named 'input'.

See this template: https://github.com/view-components/view-components/blob/master/resources/views/input.php

There is $label view variable.
FilterControl already adds there $label variable in setViewData() method, but it calls $view->setDefaultData($defaults) that should not overwrite already existing variables.

So, we need just set $label view variable somewhere before grid rendering.

$filterControl->getView()->setDataItem('label', 'My Label');

(See https://github.com/view-components/view-components/blob/master/src/Data/ArrayDataAggregateInterface.php)

Please give me know if it helps.

I done so

(new Tag('td'))->addChild( (new FilterControl( 'ek', FilterOperation::OPERATOR_LIKE, new InputOption('ek', $_GET) ))->setView( new TemplateView('input', [ 'label' => null, 'placeholder' => 'ek' ]) ) ),

this worked for me!
all i had to do is create my filtercontrol like
$date = new FilterControl('date_created', FilterOperation::OPERATOR_LIKE, $input->option('date_created')),
then do
$date->getView()->setDataItem('label', 'Date'); just before $grid = $grid->render();
