Andy LoPresto updated NIFI-3417:
--------------------------------
Description:
As reported on the mailing list, a user encountered an issue trying to delete
what appeared to be an empty process group because it contained template
definitions.
I propose that the error dialog should allow for (2 - 4) options to resolve
this issue:
# Delete this process group and any contained templates (if the process group
is empty, the template definitions are now irrelevant anyway)
# Cancel (current option)
Other possibilities:
# Delete and move all template definitions to the parent process group (this
could cause broken connections/lost definitions)
# Delete and export all template definitions to XML (again, not sure this would
be of any value as the components and connections no longer exist)
This probably needs some discussion, especially if [~mcgilman] can weigh in.
