  • Hi Jussi - does the Plug In allow encryption of paragraph text fields ? The plug in we are using at the moment to do paragraph field encryption has disappeared from the App Market so am looking for alternatives that achieve the same outcome as what we have now. 

    Many thanks

    Thanks Jussi - this seems to be a like for like replacement for the Plug In that has disappeared from the App Market.

    Our current use case is to encrypt the text values input to either text fields or paragraph fields - so this seems to be a direct replacement which we can start to look at how we migrate and re-encrypt the data accordingly.

    Many thanks for the quick response. 

    Cheers

    Hi , if you are asking whether the plug-in supports encrypting values that users input into a Paragraph Field, yes, this will work.

    However, please note that the plugin does not add any additional encryption to the actual paragraph field component, unlike the native a!encryptedTextField functionality.
