[BUG] Data Source Connection Passwords Empty When Imported (export.ndjson)

[c-neto]

I created an OpenSearch access in the Data Source menu, with tested and valid credentials.

I exported the created Data Sources objects in the OpenSearch-Dashboards > Stack Management > Saved objects > Export menu.

When I import the export.ndjson, and test the credentials, the connection not works. If I update the connection password with the same password that I configured before exporting the connection Object, the connection works.

To Reproduce

I created the docker-compose lab to reproduce this bug: https://github.com/c-neto/my-devops-labs/tree/main/opensearch/multi-data-source-import-bug

1. Create a new tested and valid connection in the menu: OpenSearch-Dashboards > Stack Management > Data Sources menu (URI: /app/management/opensearch-dashboards/dataSources
2. Export the Data Sources connection in the menu: OpenSearch-Dashboards > Stack Management > Saved objects > Export (URI: /app/management/opensearch-dashboards/objects)
3. Delete the connections created in the step 1
4. Import the Data Source Connections file exported in the step 2 in the menu: OpenSearch-Dashboards > Stack Management > Saved objects > Import (URI: /app/management/opensearch-dashboards/objects)
5. Test connection (the problem is in here. It will show the popup with an error)
6. Update the password with the same password tested and exported in step 1.
7. Test connection (the connection will work).

Expected behavior

It is expected that the connection works when importing the Data Source connection, without updated the password.

OpenSearch Version

I tested OpenSearch in the 2.7 and 2.8 version.

Dashboards Version

I tested OpenSearch-Dashboards in the 2.7 and 2.8 version.
