Matthew Clarke commented on NIFI-1231:
--------------------------------------
I guess this comes from a discussion I had with Mark. Clone files are
essentially new FlowFiles with new uuids. The content may not have changed,
but they represent a new entity in both provenance and in the dataflow.
The provenance lineage will only draw back to where that cloned FlowFiles
originated (was created). You need to expand parents to trace back further.
I look at entryDate as the time a FlowFiles was created.
> cloned files not getting new entryDate
