Hidden Environment Variables

We’ve expanded the functionality of managing Node-RED environment variables by introducing the ability to hide their values in the UI.

This feature is supported by both hosted and remote Node-RED instances.

Users can now designate values as 'hidden' when creating or editing them.
Hidden values are concealed in the UI for enhanced privacy and security.
Once marked as hidden and saved:
- the name cannot be changed.
- the value can only be updated - its existing value cannot be seen.
To make a value visible again, users must delete the entry and recreate it as a visible one.

This feature enhances security and allows for more control over sensitive configuration data, ensuring better management in your Node-RED workflows.
