If you look in the edittext component, it says the internal text field
is using a 'once'
constraint to look at the parent.password
lps/components/lz/edittext.lzx:
<_internalinputtext name="field"
password="$once{parent.password}"
So the internal field is not looking at the parent.password value more
than once at init time.
That could be changed to an 'always' constraint, I imagine that would
work better.
