How to restore placeholder text when TextField is cleared

I'm having an issue restoring the placeholder text on a TextField when the TextField has been cleared.

Are there any less hacky ways of restoring the text other than what I've found here?

Clearing SwiftUI TextField will not restore placeholder

Cheers, Oliver

Fixed in iOS 15

*consider below for old versions support only

As I wrote in that other topic it is current SwiftUI defect, so for now only workaround is possible.

Here is a simple one that works for me (I prefer this approach because it remains valid even after some fixes/changes in the area):

@State private var text: String = ""
@State private var refresh = false

var body: some View {
    VStack {
        TextField("Placeholder" + (refresh ? "" : " "), text: $text)
        Divider()
        Button("Clear") {
            self.text = ""
            self.refresh.toggle() // << force refresh placeholder explicitly
        }
    }
}
