Thank you for nice work the update feel Automate more stable now.

I'd want to ask a feature if I try to use Automate to fill password without autofill 
but rather than in plain text is there block that could be used for password or can conceal haracters?

[Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist]

The Interact block with action Set text can be used to insert text into a text field, it should also work for password fields.

[мJ ZЖУ]

Yes but I'd prefer if it has option to hide or unhide it or mask with asterisk if content sensitive.

[Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist]

That's controlled by the app into which the text is updated, not by Automate.

[мJ ZЖУ]

On destination password field it convert to asterisk fine but in Automate block it stay transparent

as text. 

I'm just ask for suggestion if there's a block which feature is text would be hidden in it.

[Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist]

Of course. It's the app with the text/password field that's displaying * instead of the actual characters.

Storing passwords in plaintext, in a flow or otherwise, should be avoided.

When it can't be avoided, then Automate uses an "generic credentials account", but those are inaccessible to flows.

I'm just curious, how to know the max battery level of the system? like my phone i set it to battery protection 80%, when i charge it only limit the charge to 80% it will not go up to 100%, what block can get this max battery level of the system?

[Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist]

Use the Battery properties block. But there's no official Android way to get the (80%) charge limit value. Try using the included Settings finder flow then toggle the feature off/on in system Battery settings to find the setting it's stored as, if it is, then use then System setting get block.

[мJ ZЖУ]

If it's a model specific battery feature not available on all phone.

It may be available on System setting block.
