      Current situation

      Our Bamboo variables documentation lacks clarity in the encryption topic.

      Accepted solution

      Our document on System-wide encryption mentions that

      Variables that include keywords such as "secret" and "password". These variables will also be obfuscated in the UI

      This needs to be mentioned in the document on variables.

      Apart from this, there are certain scenarios that are not clarified. To summarize them: if the variable name is edited, or re-saved without any changes, then the password must be input again, otherwise its value will not be the same as before.

            [BAM-20903] Improve the variables documentation regarding encryption.

            Current behavior (click obfuscated var name, click save, silently get your value cleared) is a bug. Documenting it is the least you can do.

            The best you can do is, either:

            1. Change client-side JS code to prevent saving obfuscated variables with empty values / without entering it's value.
            2. Create another rest endpoint for client browser to use when renaming an obfuscated var - this way a var will get a new name, and an old value. The implementation is not that obvious, as your backend should know the original var name too.
