}

Everything is almost good/perfect, except that when using custom ghost text, only the characters that were specified in quotes should be displayed, without modification. In this code example, I have specified a custom ghost text starting with a capital letter and without brackets, however, in the dialog box it displays with brackets and the first word starts with a lowercase letter.

So, it is assumed/expected that by default, when using the style optional, the ghost text in the dialog box should be displayed as (optional), and when adding custom text in quotes after the style, the text should be displayed in its original form, as the developer/designer of the script code wants to do, without additional brackets and in the specified letter case.
