Description

When a sensitive paramter holds a pointer to the paramter context the #{mypassowrd} isn't sensitive and should therefore be copied into the template.

 

When you restore the template it is typically on a different host with a different parameter context. When you import the template all sensitive parameters are blank and the references to the passwords in the paramter context are lost. You expect the #{mypassowrd} to be restored with the template.

Now it's necessary to go through and find all compnenets with sensitive parameters and set the passwords after import of a template. This is a massive pain with a big flow.
