Masked...

** Hi Joe,

7.6.04 SP2

I was not able to reproduce this.  I never saw the see unmasked text.

One difference it appears between version; I was not able to show the Expand 
Box on a field that is set to Edit Masked.  The Expand Box option is read only 
once the Display Type is set to Edit Masked.  If I set the Expand Box to Show 
before setting Display Type = Edit Masked the Expand Box is automatically set 
to Hide once set Edit Masked.

Would someone be kind enough to verify this before I report it?

I am on ARS 7.6.03.

Create a Character field of length 30 or so (less than the length that enables 
the Expand Box by default which is 69 I think..). Assign the display property 
of Edit Masked to it.. Try it out, on the WUT and or the MT and it should work 
ok..

Change the length of this field to a length that the Expand box gets enabled 
automatically. I changed mine to 254 or 255 - I don't recall the exact.. Test 
that field out on the WUT (haven't tested on web yet.) When typing in the 
contents it is masked... Tab out of the field and tab back in and you can see 
the text in clear text..

I know that an Edit Masked field just masks the characters of a field. It does 
not actually encrypt its contents - so I have no confusion about that.. Just 
putting that out there....

Does this happen for you guys too? If so, what version(s) are you'll on??

I'll report it to BMC after I verify this is a consistent problem..

Joe
