Question

Partial Password Masking on Input Field

0

I’m looking for a way to have a fully functional input field that will do password masking on only first 5 digits of SSN and plaintext for the last 4 digits (while having the full plaintext value available for form submission). For instance, if SSN is 123-45-6789, I need to display ***-**-6789 but I still need to retain the original value to submit. Is this possible?

The easiest one is creating a non persistent object with a string inside. Pass the object containing the SSN to a datasource microflow. In the microflow create the non persistant object. Now use substring to cut the SSN value in two and use the replaceAll command (https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/string-function-calls#replaceall) to change all the number values for asteriks. Then combine the two again and place them inside the string of the non persistent object and let the microflow return that object.
