Description
Select a supplied identity display or mask.
Ethical records distinguish assumptions, permissions, role assignments, reported conflicts and source-qualified claims. A supplied truth flag can be negated mechanically without evaluating a rule, while a disclosure marker does not prove an acceptable practice. Ethical interpretation depends on evidence, context and the affected people.
Select a supplied identity display or mask.
When to use this tool
Use Whistleblowing Record Identity Mask when you already have identityText, publishIdentity, suppliedMask and need to select a supplied identity display or mask.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter identityText, publishIdentity, suppliedMask. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read displayIdentity. Use the output convention below.
Return identityText when publishIdentity=true, otherwise suppliedMask; preserve empty strings.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| identityText | Identity Text | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| publishIdentity | Publish Identity | Required. Boolean. |
| suppliedMask | Supplied Mask | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| displayIdentity | Display Identity | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"identityText": "Name A",
"publishIdentity": false,
"suppliedMask": "Witness 17"
},
"output": {
"displayIdentity": "Witness 17"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The flag does not verify permission or safety, and masking the display does not remove underlying identifiers, protect records or establish anonymity.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Read the underlying case, source, policy and consent records. Assess duties, authority, affected interests and actual circumstances through the appropriate professional process; local tokens and boolean checks do not resolve an ethical or legal question.
