Bad value for static string dropdown in custom integration

I created a custom integration using the Zapier Platform UI and setup this input:

  • Key: assessment_type
  • Type: String
  • Required: True
  • Dropdown: True
  • Dropdown Type: Static
  • Dropdown Source: ["Initial Assessment", "Reauthorization"]

When I pass that input a value of “Reauthorization” (without the quotes), the value sent in my API call is:

  • :censored:15:fef622f38c:

I’m accessing the value of the input using JavaScript string interpolation:

  • `${bundle.inputData.assessment_type}`

Does anyone know what’s going on here?

Thanks,
Eric

I figured it out, it’s because it or the json key has the letters “auth” in it, so Zapier thinks it’s a password or key of some kind.  I’ve confirmed the correct value is actually being sent out in the POST call.
