In my project, I have a property marked as "Persistent" and "Secured".
During the first install, it is encrypted and I can see it in the registry.
However, during maintenance mode (Modify to be specific), the encrypted property is encrypted again and this change is seen in the registry.
As per the documentation a persistent property is not changed even if it is modified during the maintenance mode.
The only thing that I do during maintenance mode is re-install the feature.
So, does this mean that the persistent property would be modified if any of the feature is re-installed during the maintenance. If this case, I think it should be mentioned in the documentation. And also, is there a way that I can prevent it from being modified even if the feature is re-installed?
If this is not the intended behaviour and it's a bug, could you please let me know tentatively when can I expect the update with a fix?
I have attached the ".AIP" file highlighting this behaviour.
Thanks.
