Hi Bryan, 

Thanks for the options. After pg-import or pg-change-version, if we use  nifi 
rest api and update properties, looks like nifi instance detects 
changes(compares with bucket flow in registry) and creates * mark. 

We can change pg-change-version however just for properties setting , may be 
its not advisable to change version in nifi instance. 

Any ideas around this will be helpful. 

Thanks
Siva
