BLUF It turns out after the discussion in NIFI-13057 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-13057> all required properties whether sensitive or not exhibit the same behavior i.e. once set they cannot be unset but only changed. Intuitively one might have thought they could use the backspace to erase the property value and it would be unset but that is not the case. Per the conversation in the ticket it was suggested to have a UI change to indicate a required property once set cannot be unset but only changed. I would like to hear from the community thoughts on what a proposed UI change might look like. Thanks!
