Question

How can we create a password field using Coach Views with masked password ?

Answer 1

You can make a copy of the stock text control and search for type="text" in "inline javascript" and change it to type="password", the benefit of this approach is that all the remaining functionality like validations on change etc will remain intact, People try to create a custom control but that is a lengthy and error prone process especially when there is a whole lot of functionality associated with a stock control.

Example implementation for 8.5.5 is here https://bpm.tips/?qa=blob&qa_blobid=3192351920854143174
