Can you make variable sensitive by default?
 
I make flows that sometimes read sensitive data. It would be nice if, somewhere in the code, the variable could be forced to be sensitive. 
It seems really easy to forget to set the variable to sensitive in the enviroment, and if I copy the flow to a text file and share it with someone. None of thier variables will be set to sensitive by default.
I have the same question (0)

    Hey hi,
     
    As of my knowledge, Power Automate Desktop (PAD) does not provide an option to make variables sensitive by default. 
     
    Each variable that needs to be marked as sensitive has to be done individually.
    You can do this by hovering over the variable and clicking on the incognito icon, or clicking on the 3 dots and selecting 'Mark as sensitive as shown in below image.
     
     
     
    (Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

    Thanks & Regards
    Vishnu Reddy
