Password field context dissapearing

[PasswordPropertyText(true)] Not Retaining Editable Hidden String in XPBaseObject

created 6 days ago

Hello,
I am implementing a string attribute in an object derived from XPBaseObject, which should be editable but displayed as "" in the UI. I tried using [PasswordPropertyText(true)], which initially hides the value correctly, but when saving, the attribute is emptied, and upon the next save, the value is permanently lost.

Below is the attribute

C#
string fSoggettiRagSocCognNome;
[XafDisplayName("Cognome nome")]
[RuleRequiredField]
[PasswordPropertyText(true)]
public string SoggettiRagSocCognNome
{
    get { return fSoggettiRagSocCognNome; }
    set { SetPropertyValue(nameof(SoggettiRagSocCognNome), ref fSoggettiRagSocCognNome, value); }
}

Thank you,
Pio

Hello, Pio.

The described behavior is by design. The old password is not passed to the client for security reasons. That's why the editor contains an empty string: ASPxTextBoxBase.Password.

      Hello
      The attribute in question is not a password, I would just need to hide it in UI, editable. How could I do?

        This behavior applies to any property with the [PasswordPropertyText(true)] attribute and you cannot alter it for security reasons (it's a native web browser behavior).

        If you want, you can implement a custom string PropertyEditor based on the ASP.NET WebForms control, which behaves as you want (we do not have such a control in our product line).
