[SiliconOrchid]

There is currently only a very brief few words about IsEncrypted key. Could you provide a more detailed explanation, or a link to other resources, as the purpose of this field is unclear.

@SiliconOrchid Thanks for your question. We are checking on this and will respond to you soon.

@SiliconOrchid the default (true) is that we encrypt the setting value using the machine key, similar to how we do it when stored in app settings Azure, for example:

{
  "IsEncrypted": true,
  "Values": {
    "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "dotnet",
    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "CfDJ8CPtwzchfBZAtBFBgGmH64h7OATSlcHmUzkH6VJJUCKbCh7p2siNvuQhR8HrEVcnjoMxO2+8f2j5D18E3dNBnMjdkRkVozzAMLmLBTk43a2t7LPVJIJF2D5du7Tj1eQ8fN8giWsslGSR9QULcZaNuVdg7u1QFjaSWUNKOaumb1GmeP99dgLlnB2S57AA5RPQBUwJ0zVAgXT8zSplyqTYDmUo8aDKKFDdP07cB1uOxe5yYhYfmcNvk98D44QC6PbVo9r1ImO/DR3gHcenKkYC83FlHfGkP1PqIEgtECAUTWZplzVvfKGhyG4Y3eBTuMyE8rxfyICOABKhDgJPtL4t/vc=",
    "testsetting": "CfDJ8CPtwzchfBZAtBFBgGmH64hIWjebQr0w9KQ2TGSDOisbKtuvmKSO+qVI2jgyAPF7130UuYKsh8PxoqQT3j69DFc+w5EdvrLTRK96RgtIYVUCyrd99tBB/U8Ye4phAwJg/A=="
  },
  "ConnectionStrings": {  }
}

I will update the article to make this more clear. Thanks for your query.
