Hi Michael, Let's assume you use a fernet key and you have two variables defined through the UI with key -> value
k_string -> this is a string k_int -> 10 The exporter will produce a compliant JSON: { "k_string": "this is a string", "k_int": 10 } But the importer will fail on k_int because it was exported as a JSON int and not a JSON string. Forcing the conversion as suggested in my first email works but is not really nice: self._val = fernet.encrypt(bytes(str(value), 'utf-8')).decode() Let me know if you need anything else, I also created AIRFLOW-2666 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2666> if you want to track it.
