Matthew Chen commented on AIRFLOW-45:
-------------------------------------
[~sanand] will do that for the list view of variables.
Also, for conn edit page, {{extra}} and {{password}} are already in a
hidden_fields list. Do we want to make any changes in edit or list view for
that?

> We have a use case where someone wants to set a variable for their DAG, but
> they don't want it visible via the UI. I see that variables are encrypted in
> the DB (if the crypto package is installed), but the variables are still
> visible via the UI, which is a little annoying.
> Obviously, this is not 100% secure, since you can still create a DAG to read
> the variable, but it will at least keep arbitrary users from logging
> in/loading the UI and seeing the variable.
> I propose basically handling this the same way that DB hook passwords are
> handled. Don't show them in the UI when the edit button is clicked, but allow
> the variables to be editable.
