The data source connection password is empty

[fredalai]

Describe the bug

When viewing the Data Source Settings page for a connected MySQL data source, the password field appears empty.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Connect MySQL data source
2. Go to the Home / Modeling page
3. Click "Settings" below the sidebar to view the Data Source Settings
4. See the password field is empty

Expected behavior

Show password placeholder ************ instead of empty when viewing the Data Source Settings.

Screenshots

Root cause

The Backend API will not return the password field information, so it will become empty if the front end does not process it.

Solution

• Display the password placeholder **** instead of leaving the field empty when viewing the Data Source Settings for the following data sources: ClickHouse, MSSQL, MySQL, Postgres, and Trino.

  Note: For Postgres data source, it is currently the correct behavior

Hi, I've added changes to the MySQLProperties.tsx file. I edited line 76, replacing the password placeholder from "input password" to "****".
