Hidden Environment Variables
We’ve expanded the functionality of managing Node-RED environment variables by introducing the ability to hide their values in the UI.
# What’s new?
This feature is supported by both hosted and remote Node-RED instances.
- Users can now designate values as 'hidden' when creating or editing them.
- Hidden values are concealed in the UI for enhanced privacy and security.
- Once marked as hidden and saved:
- the name cannot be changed.
- the value can only be updated - its existing value cannot be seen.
- To make a value visible again, users must delete the entry and recreate it as a visible one.
This feature enhances security and allows for more control over sensitive configuration data, ensuring better management in your Node-RED workflows.
