> rbac ui presents false choice to encrypt or not encrypt variable values
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AIRFLOW-5145
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-5145
> Project: Apache Airflow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ui
> Affects Versions: 1.10.3, 1.10.4
> Reporter: Jon Stern
> Priority: Minor
>
> With webserver rbac=True and core fernet_key set, variable values are always
> encrypted, but they are only marked as is_encrypted = true in the database if
> the user explicitly checks the *Is Encrypted* checkbox on the variable create
> screen. If a variable is set up this way, then it is not correctly displayed
> in the UI and calls to Variable.get return the cipher text instead of the
> decrypted value.
> Workarounds are:
> * Explicitly check the box in the UI if you know you've got a fernet key set
> up.
> * Edit the variable after creation and re-enter the value. On the edit
> screen there is no checkbox, and is_encrypted is properly set to true on
> saving.
> Since the only right answer is is_encrypted = true, it seems like the
> checkbox should not be displayed (as in the edit screen and as in the
> non-rbac create screen)
