Enter a password at project execution time
We are using Build Forge 7.1.3.1.
Is it possible and what is the best way to do this. I want to be able to have the user enter a password value in an environment variable at project execution time but ensure that the value is not displayed in any log output. I have tried combinations of Assign/Hidden and Suppress Display, Required, etc. but nothing provides what I need. Have anyone been successful doing something like this? --Jeff |

We are using Build Forge 7.1.3.1. Actually, Assign Hidden should print the password as a series of "******"s in the logs. Is that inadequate for your needs, or just not working properly in 7.1.3.1? |
We are using Build Forge 7.1.3.1. Agreed, this is how Assign/Hidden works for the log output. What I can't figure our is how to allow the user to enter the information at project execution time. --Jeff |

You'll be pleased to learn that in 7.1.3.2, the Assign Hidden variable type was changed to also be able to be assigned the "Must Change" attribute. (Prior to this, the design of Assign Hidden variable types only allowed their values to be modified from the environment page). |
