Hi, This isn't really something that I need troubleshooting with. It is more of a feedback to the SDK. Something that has tripped me up multiple times when setting env variables in interactive mode is that there is no indication if my input will be redacted or not. Several times i have gone to enter the env var, not knowing that the input is redacted not realising until I have botched my attempt, and need to start from the beginning. I am perfectly fine with it being redacted, but I would love some indicaiton that it will happen so that I am ready when inputting my variable, and not waiting for feedback form the terminal. This is only a issue as it is up to tap developers what variables are considered secret, and it isn't always obvious, and I'll be honest, sometimes I don't read the docs before typing away. So a small request form an impatient soul. Some indication if the input will be redacted would go a long way to make my life that little bit less frustrating.

Hi @simen_svenkerud! Thanks for the feedback, I got a few questions if you don't mind 😁

Do you mean when using

meltano config --unsafe <plugin> set --interactive

? You can probably use the

--unsafe

flag, but do let me know if that doesn't work. https://docs.meltano.com/reference/command-line-interface#sensitive-values

Hi, The

--unsafe

option would be one solution. But as i said, I really don´t mind it being redacted, if the promt that says

new value

could say something like

new value (redacted)

that would be perfect. This is by no means a big issue, barely an issue at all. I was just prompted that you might want it as feedback when it happend during a pairprogramming session.

Ah gotcha. That makes sense. Should be a quick fix in https://github.com/meltano/meltano/blob/eee71ac0209071bc7174feff1ea26329808abe2a/src/meltano/cli/interactive/config.py#L242-L248 if you would like to send a PR, or log a bug https://github.com/meltano/meltano/issues/new?assignees=meltano%2Fengineering&labe[…]m%2FMeltano&projects=&template=bug.yml&title=bug%3A+%3Ctitle%3E
