Enhancement of BiqQuery connector stage - Credential field to be modified to hold JSON data in encrypted format

We are currently running applications hosted on Information Server 11.7.1.4 version. 

We have a critical requirment to connect Google Cloud through a datastage job. We have considered BiqQuery connector stage as a suitable one for fulfillment. 

Current configuration => BQconnector stage has only one field dedeicated to point a JSON file which hosts all the information (includes private key) required to establish connection with GCP . Our bank standarad does not allow private key to be visisble for anyone.

Required configuration => We need an enhancement/feature within existing BQ connector stage that would allow us to enter entire JSON snippet content within "Credentials" field. Inaddtion once content is entered in this field it should be in encrypted format. Our approach is application team will share connection details to secutiry team. PAM team will pull private key from vault and add it to JSON content provided by application team. Then PAM team will update BiqQuery connector stage with entire JSON snippet when application team shared their screen.
