> We have a use case where someone wants to set a variable for their DAG, but they don't want it visible via the UI. I see that variables are encrypted in the DB (if the crypto package is installed), but the variables are still visible via the UI, which is a little annoying.
> Obviously, this is not 100% secure, since you can still create a DAG to read the variable, but it will at least keep arbitrary users from logging in/loading the UI and seeing the variable.
> I propose basically handling this the same way that DB hook passwords are handled. Don't show them in the UI when the edit button is clicked, but allow the variables to be editable.
