Hi @mcgilman,
I strongly agree on your point that need to introduce new attribute of
PropetyDescriptor which would drive whether or not to use a masked single line
input or the existing multi-line textarea. Our focus is only on properties that
require user to enter password. All sensitive properties need not be a password
property. And password properties are supposed to be single line and should not
support expression-language. (Also i believe password boxes cannot be created
without <input type="password">)
