Hide value in prompt ?

Question

Hello,
I am working on a report in Webi XIR2 SP4 and I would like to hide the value for a special prompt during user is filling in it like a password : is it possible to replace characters with points ("****") for exemple ?
I see that something like tihs exists in Crystal Report but I found any options about it in Business Objects / Web Intelligence / Designer.
Do you have an idea ?
Thanks for your answer.
Bests Regards.

@Prompt
You can use the @Prompt function to create an interactive object. You use a @Prompt function in the Where clause for an object. It forces a user to enter a value for a restriction when that object is used in a query. When the user runs the query, a prompt box appears asking for a value to be entered.
@Prompts are useful when you want to force a restriction in the inferred SQL but do not want to preset the value of the condition.
You can optionally define default values for prompts. A prompt containing default values behaves in the same way as a Web Intelligence prompt with default values.
The syntax of the function is as follows:
@Prompt('message','type',[lov],mono/multi,free/constrained/primary_key,persistent/not_persistent, [{'default value':'default key'[,'default value':'default key',...]}) 
The syntax is described in the following table:
Syntax  Description 
'message'  Text of the prompt message. The text must be enclosed between single quotes, for example, 'Choose a Region', 'Pick a time period', or 'Choose a showroom'. The text appears in the prompt box when the query is run. 
'type'  Data type returned by the function. It can be one of the following:
'A' for alphanumeric
'N' for number
D' for date
The specified data type must be enclosed in single quotes. 
lov  List of values (optional). You can specify two types of list of values:
Hard coded list. Each value is separately enclosed in single quotes and separated by a comma. The whole list is enclosed in curly brackets. For example, {'Australia', 'France', 'Japan', 'United Kingdom', 'USA'}.
Pointer to a List of Values from an existing object. You invoke the target lov by double clicking on the object containing the lov that you want to use in the Classes and Objects panel. This gives the Class name and the Object name, separated by a backslash. It must be enclosed in single quotes. For example: 'Client\Country'. 
mono  User can select only one value from the list of values. 
multi  User can select multiple values from the list of values. 
free  User can enter a value, or select one from the list of values. 
constrained  User must select a value from the list of values. 
primary key  Use the primary key parameter with "free" or "constrained". The user enters a value or selects from the list of values. If the primary key parameter is present, the entered or displayed value is not used to generate the query. The associated key value from the Index Awareness column is used. 
persistent  When refreshing a document, the last values used in the prompt is displayed by default. 
not persistent  When refreshing a document, no values used is displayed in the prompt by default. 
'default value':'key value'  The default values parameter is used to define default values presented to the user.
You can define multiple default values.
The syntax for each default value is: u2018valueu2019:u2019keyu2019.
The colon ( is the separator between the value and the key.
When refreshing a document these values are displayed by default but if the persistent option is set, then the last values used in the prompt are used instead of the default values.
If you specify the primary key parameter in the prompt definition, then you must provide the key value(s). 
Note: For each of the optional parameters, if you omit an argument, you must still enter the commas as separators.
Example: Using @Prompt to restrict countries
The object Country returns values for the countries of resorts. If you want to restrict the returned values to resorts for only one country, you would need a separate object for each resort country in the universe. However, using the @Prompt, you need only one object as follows:
The user is prompted to enter the name of the country, and the returned values are the resorts from that particular country, as shown below:
When a query is run in Web Intelligence, the following prompt box appears:
Example: @Prompt syntax with default values
@prompt('Enter value(s) for Customer with IA:',
'A','Customer\Customer with I A',
Multi,primary_key,{u2018Bakeru2019:u20191u2019,u2018Brendtu2019:u20192u2019})
