Making a database field "secret" or "password" like?

Excellent point about refreshing the session_id. Will look into doing that.

Also the input fields idea is interesting, Is this essentially the equivalent of storing something in memory (vs writing to disk)? And does the input have to be on some screen or can they be input fields in the current screen but not visible? If the former, then does Adalo maintain context of all variables of all screens when the app loads (regardless of which screen the user is on or has hit in the current session)?
I’m asking the latter because I’m trying to figure out if I can use it as a solution to How to loop "n" times, request API value and sum the value?
