Send Credentials To Emulator
With the latest release, you cannot send credentials stored in a project to an IBM 5250 green screen emulator. You have to use the send value action as a workaround.

We shipped this in Bot 17.8.0 where you can use credentials to send to emulators. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thank you for submitting this enhancement idea. I have opened this up for voting.

The reason given for this is that if an incorrect screen is displayed the credential could be sent in plain text, presumably because emulator screens do not have a persistent class (win-child order etc).
What if a validation row and column is specified, with a preceding validating (user specified text to ensure screen) get-value in the case of emulator windows?
We really do need proper credential management for emulator windows.
