Wireless security profile not saved correctly

RouterOS General

I just happen to experience some strange behavious, I would even call it a bug.

[adding]
I’m running ROS 7.1.3 for that matter

When I export my config for future restore I noticed that the WPA Pre-shared key is not shown on the export, also when sending it towards a file is not showing this.
Now this makes the exported backup useless straight away, it first needs to be altered and pre-shared key parameters must be added.
`
Also the export is incorrectly saving comments put on Virtual AP’s

/interface wireless 
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-b/g/n comment="Hardware interface, only used as master-interface" hide-ssid=yes mode=ap-bridge name=MasterWlan security-profile=MasterProfile ssid=MasterWlan 
add comment="Test comment" disabled=no hide-ssid=no master-interface=MasterWlan name=TestVAP security-profile=Test ssid=Test 
/interface wireless nstreme
set MasterWlan comment="Hardware interface, only used as master-interface"
set *1A comment="Test comment"

As indicated above, on the nstreme part of the config it is saving the comment, but for the VAP it is not exporting the correct name!

I also contacted Mikrotik about my findings above and the WPA2 key being not present in the export output was actually quite reasonable and almost stupid from my side.
I have to run the export with ‘show-sensitive’ in order to include passwords.

For the other part I have not yet get any answer.

As for the WPA key (and other passwords, private keys, …), default behavior in ROS has changed from ROS6 = show-sensitive to ROS7 = hide-sensitive.
I wouldn’t say that’s a bug. That’s added security.

On the comments, that would be a genuine bug.
