How to create a password field?

[rairafaqatali]

Hi @sfmskywalker ,
I want to create a password field in my custom activity.

Can you kindly let me know how I'll achieve that?
I tried with this snippet but got no luck.
[ActivityInput(Hint = "Authorization Token")] [DataType(DataType.Password)] public string AuthToken { get; set; }

Sure. There are a few steps involved with creating your own field types / UI hints:

1. Define your own UI hint (which you did as "Authorization Token", but if you want to be able to reuse the password field, it might be better to call it "Password"or"Secret"` to indicate that it's a secret value).
2. Create a field type driver (with JavaScript).
3. Create a designer plugin that registers your custom field driver.

Read about custom plugins here and custom field types here.

Alternatively (or additionally), you could create a new issue requesting the addition of a new "Secret" UI hint. And perhaps you might even submit a PR 😄
