I have a data card with a multi-line text field. I then have a label on the right side of the screen that is blank. When text is entered in the text field that same text is added to the label. I have the label set to auto height. This works perfect as long as there is text in the text field. If there is no text, then the label collapses as seen below (the pink stripe).

What would be the best way to set a minimum height for this label? I've read of one solution where I use two labels. One has autoheight on and the other doesn't. The solution is to toggle between the two based on whether there is text in the text field or not. This doesn't seem too elegant but should work. I'm looking for something a little simpler. I had considered just adding placeholder text to the text field but as soon as that is deleted then my label is going to collapse. Any suggestions how to best handle this?
