> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-2072
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2072
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Joey Frazee
> Assignee: Otto Fowler
> Priority: Major
> Labels: extracttext
> Fix For: 1.14.0
>
> Time Spent: 2h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> ExtractText currently captures and creates attributes using numeric indices
> (e.g, attribute.name.0, attribute.name.1, etc.) whether or not the capture
> groups are named, i.e., patterns like (?<name>\w+).
> In addition to being more faithful to the provided regexes, named captures
> could help simplify data flows because you wouldn't have to add superfluous
> UpdateAttribute steps which are just renaming the indexed captures to more
> interpretable names.
