password decryption doesn't work in tcl session

If I open a SSH session, I can pass it the password, and it is unencrypted. But if I open a tcl session, the password stays encrypted.

call get_param.fftc#get_param ${arg[1]} password
   save as password, has a RM query, value()
open ssh device
command typeset a=\
command [query password value()]
   perform substitutions
   Command field contains an encrypted value
command echo $a
==>password
open tcl shell
command set a \
command [query password value()]
   perform substitutions
   Command field contains an encrypted value
command puts $a
==>encrypted=

On those two steps, are you setting the checkbox "Command field contains an encrypted value (such as a masked parameter substitution)"?

If so, then another possibility is that you have an extra bit of whitespace in the command field which, I think, may screw up the decryption. (If this is true, we could do a better job of telling you about it, of course!)

Well, I basically copied the tcl line to the ssh one. But just in case, I re-typed the line. Still doesn't work. Testcase attached; Just change the LinuxGen1_cli to any SSH session that has a password.

Well, I don't see anything wrong with this. We need to create an equivalent test case and find out what is going on.
