Hello,

Hope you all are doing great!

Thought I'd bring this concern which I've been experiencing - When I add auth category in actions of watcher - after I hit save watch button password changes to "::es\_redacted::"

Was just hoping if someone could assist on what can be done to fix this?

Thanks
