Text entered into PASSWORD field not saved

Text entered into a field defined as PASSWORD is immediately cleared when I leave the field. Text entered into a different field for the same column, but defined as TEXT_FIELD stays put. Text entered into a field for a global defined as PASSSWORD stays put also.

I am bumping this. This seems to me like a serious problem and I would like to get some response. I have submitted this as a bug report as well, with no response there either. A repeatable condition where data entered into a field is not saved to the database for both Sybase and SQL backends seems like something to look into. Is anyone else experiencing this or are password fields working correctly for everyone except me? Forgive me, but this is one of many issues delaying the deployment of my solution.

Hi Steve,

Servoy Developer

Java version 1.5.0_06-64 (Mac OS X)
MySQL backend database

Can confirm that this happening on above setup using your demo solution plus I created a test text column in one of my own MySQL db’s with the same result - no data was saved to the database

Storing cleartext passwords in a database is not so great anyway :wink:

No, of course, this sounds like a nasty bug.

The problem has been identfied and a fix will be included in both Servoy 3.0.2 and 3.1 beta 2

That’s great news. Thank you.
