Project Options Forgetting Target FTP Password

Wappler General Bugs
1

Wappler Version : 6.61
Operating System : Win11
Server Model: NodeJS
Database Type: MariaDB
Hosting Type: Windows Server

Expected behavior

What do you think should happen?

FTP password should never be forgotten once set

Actual behavior

What actually happens?

FTP password is forgotten and does not appear in the panel, resulting in a failed publish.

Looking at the project.json field, Wappler is putting a random password in there, in this format: "ftpPassword": "2bdc9bf1dccbd8a0748f"

How to reproduce

Create a new project, with a remote FTP server password that contains a hash symbol. This seems to cause problems, then change the password so it does not have a hash symbol. Save the new passowrd again in the Project Options in the 'RemoteServer' target.

Restart Wappler, the password may or may not have been stored:

This is causing failed publish:

Just a quick update, this is still happening again on a different project. I just opened an older project that also had a hash in the FTP password. The project options would not remember it, resulting in a failed publish.

Removing the hash from the FTP password fixed the issue.

I'm now on Wappler 6.7.0.

Aah, I thought I was going mad as this was also happening to me. I have a project where I've been enabling/disabling Composer to try and sort an issue and every time I did that the FTP password was removed. I just assumed it was because I'd made some fundamental change and it was supposed to do that but I can see now that it's a bug.
