Hide customisable fields in the application variables tab

One other feature request is in the services tab sometimes we have database connections and the json has passwords. We would like to see the password not sent over the network to the app or at least hidden in the front end. Put "password":"****" instead
If this was added as a feature to hide the password for everyone then maybe it could be turned on or off using a config option.

• The application variables tab shows user provided variables (top list) and all variables in a code block.
• Request is to blur out variables that are sensitive, such as password.
• If done in the front end, suggest an admin only feature to configure field names to blur out.
• If done in the back end, which would be more secure, need a new a new endpoint to proxy variable requests.
• In both cases need some kind of way to store endpoint specific configuration and then configuration management in the front end

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start at the application variables tab and trace how the user-provided variables and full variable block are loaded; clarify whether masking belongs in the front end or behind a new endpoint, and how endpoint-specific configuration should be stored. Done requires sensitive field names to be configurable and masked without exposing passwords.
