What happens if I change Kots config parameter type?

How does it work?

Hi,

I have a few installations that we use to have a kots config like this:

  • name: integration_encryption_key
    title: component-integration Encryption Key
    type: password
    hidden: true
    value: ‘{{repl RandomString 24 “[A-Za-z0-9]” }}’

But for some reason, we started receiving empty strings breaking our deployments. I could not find the root cause.

If I change the config to:

  • name: integration_encryption_key
    title: component-integration Encryption Key
    type: text
    hidden: true
    value: ‘{{repl RandomString 24 “[A-Za-z0-9]” }}’

It works, but I am afraid that will break the running installations that I already have.

Does anyone know that it happen?

Cheers
