    What you see on the checkout page is correct. The placeholder is populated with the same value as the title, that’s by design. If you would like to set a specific placeholder, you can override the field properties by using a filter for hook woocommerce_checkout_fields. The filter priority should be 41 or higher, and the property to change is $fields['billing']['vat_number']['placeholder'].

    I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to say for certain why the settings are saved. Last time that issue occurred was because the VAT number in EU VAT Assistant > Options was empty. However, that was fixed a while ago. You can try by entering a VAT number there, just in case, so we can determine if, for any reason, that issue occurs again.

    Ok re: placeholder, thank you

    Re: settings not saving, actually I tried to use a random VAT number from Italy and it doesn’t even save it. On reload, my old VAT number is still there

    That behaviour described is by design. When the settings are invalid, they are ignored, and the previous ones are restored. If you enter an invalid VAT number, the validation will fail for it, and you will see the previous one when the page reloads.
