Encrypted field not shown in visualforce page when used in layout

Hi,

 

I've found a strange behavior when using encrypted fields in visual force pages.

My simple test page works fine when I call it directly via URL. The value is shown without the mask, since I've the permission.

<apex:page  standardController="Contact">
<apex:outputField value="{!Contact.encryptedCustomerId__c}"/>
</apex:page>

But when I use that page inside the Contact Layout, the value is shown masked.

In the real scenario I would like to use the encryptedCustomerId__c by a controller extension to look up the corresponding object.

 

Is this a bug or a feature?

 

Many thanks

Thorsten
