[Jenkins] Not able to create password type build parameter

[ajay-kumar-1]

We are working on the project and it was not recommended to type password as a plain text on the jenkins using build parameter due to security reasons.

On the Jenkins UI, we saw password type build parameter to format the password string as (*)

By referring the code, I think we can create only string type build parameters
Ref: https://github.com/collivier/ansible-role-xtesting/blob/master/templates/run.yaml.j2#L122.

Is there any way to create the password type build parameter?

[Workaround I had used]
For the time being, I had updated the job yaml (for the password type parameter) available in the temp folder and reconfigure jobs using jenkins_jobs.ini or we can add a new parameter from jenkins UI.

However, we would like to have an automated way of doing this?

Command: jenkins-jobs --conf jenkins_jobs.ini update <project_name>.yaml
