Default setting for protected property of variables should be off
When setting a new variable in Settings > CI/CD > Secret variables in the new dynamic management, the default for Protected is on
, but this can create problems for people not really aware of what it means, making variables unavailable to pipelines on non-protected branches. It also changes the previous behavior, where the setting was off
by default.
UX decision
We should change the default behavior to be off
