Avoiding usage of "__getitem__" method ?

[yohonet]

I didn't find any documentation about "__getitem__". It's a method you're using to update an input but I believe there are more supported ways to do this. The following doc page describes one: https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/python/sdk-python/howtousesplunkpython/howtogetdatapython#To-view-and-modify-the-properties-of-a-data-input

Couldn't you use a supported method to update the password with its masked version ?
