Description
I dont know if I should list this a feature request or bug.
When clicking rerun in the history on the UI you have to reenter any passwords or protected fields as they do not carry over from the parent run. Since passwords and such are saved, a rerun of the workflow should be able to inherit the protected fields as it does with the others.

Research direction
Start by tracing the UI history rerun entry point and how it creates a child workflow run from the parent run. Compare handling of ordinary inputs with passwords and other protected fields; done means reruns inherit the parent's saved protected fields without requiring them to be reentered.
