Why Isn't Data Masked Based on a Specified Rule After a Data Masking Task Is Executed?

Possible Causes

Static masking tasks depend on sensitive data discovery tasks. If the statuses of sensitive data fields were not changed to Valid on the Sensitive Data Distribution page, the system considers that there is no sensitive field, so does not mask data based on a rule.

Solution

Before creating a static masking task, you must create a sensitive data discovery task. After sensitive fields are discovered, change the statuses of the sensitive fields to Valid on the Sensitive Data Distribution page.
