Hi,

In this topic 

The sample custom screen and endpoint was provided by @jinin for my solution, which contains custom screen with user and password for input  in Acumatica interface 

So, I have custom form with fields

I need password value to be hidden same as at login tab

What actions at customization screen must be done for that ?

Acumatica version 2021R2

thanks in advance

@Ivan  I’m assuming that the above one is the configuration screen.

In your DAC field, since you have provided the PXDefault(), then the system will consider that field as mandatory, hence asterisk (*) symbol appeared on the screen.

If you don’t want that field as mandatory, you can remove the PXDefault for the DAC field.

 

[PXUIField(DisplayName = "FTP Password")]       

[PXDefault()]             

[PXRSACryptStringAttribute(255, IsUnicode = true)]       

public virtual string FTPPassword { get; set; }

public abstract class fTPPassword : BqlString.Field<fTPPassword> { }

hi @Ivan ,

You can use [PXRSACryptStringAttribute(255, IsUnicode = true)]  at DAC level,this will encrypt the password.

Sample for your reference.

        [PXUIField(DisplayName = "FTP Password")]
        [PXDefault()]      
        [PXRSACryptStringAttribute(255, IsUnicode = true)]
        public virtual string FTPPassword { get; set; }
        public abstract class fTPPassword : BqlString.Field<fTPPassword> { }

@praveenpo 

It behaves strange

At the very beginning it has hidden value, but I have not inputted nothing at the very begging

After I inputted value

 

 

After I inputted value, the encryption disappeared 

That is my code

@Ivan ,

Please provide TextMode="Password" in aspx.

 <px:PXTextEdit ID="edFTPPassWord" runat="server" DataField="FTPPassWord" TextMode="Password" />

<px:PXTextEdit ID="edPassword" runat="server" AlreadyLocalized="False" DataField="Password" CommitChanges="true"></px:PXTextEdit>

Hi @Ivan  It should work with the below code at the DAC level and make sure Commit Changes = “True” at the page level. It seems there is some issue with your code.

 

 [PXRSACryptString(IsUnicode = true, InputMask = "")]

Hi @Naveen Boga 

Thank you for your reply

I checked Commit Changes property according to your advise

And inserted your code 

Unfortunately it did not help 

I have stars depiction before I have inputted something while I just opened the page

Hi @Ivan  There is nothing wrong with the above code, it should work.

For some reason, it is not working in your instance.

You can try in the other instance and verify this.
