Display Password as encrypted or with asterisk

[Ruchi19]

we have a field named password which needs to be filled in by support team when they close tasks related to 'reset password catalog service.'
we would like this field either encrypted or display the password with asterisk so it is non readable format on the Task form.
any suggestions ?

If you create it as a string field, and then personalize the dictionary you have the option to set the type to "password2".

This will display it as dots and you can decrypt it in a script like the following:

var Encrypter = new Packages.com.glide.util.Encrypter();
Encrypter.decrypt(current.FIELD_NAME);
