Pierre Villard updated NIFI-14700:
----------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Option to ignore parameter value changes in git registry clients
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-14700
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14700
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Pierre Villard
> Assignee: Pierre Villard
> Priority: Major
>
> In NIFI-14555 we added the option to commit a new versioned flow with empty
> values for all parameters. This is a good strategy in case you want to make
> sure that you're not inadvertently committing a new version that would
> contain some parameter values that are specific to a lower environment.
> However this strategy is not great when you have parameters where you want to
> specify a default value. In such a case, and when using the strategy
> implemented in NIFI-14555, you'd lose the default values for your parameters
> when you commit a new version.
> This JIRA is to add a new strategy allowing to commit a version where any
> already existing parameter is ignored. It means that we change the version we
> are committing by copying the existing values of the existing parameters into
> the new version. This is particularly useful as changing the value of a
> parameter is not considered as a local change so it can be confusing for a
> user to commit a new version where it is also including parameter value
> changes.
> This is not a perfect solution because this strategy does not allow the user
> to change a default value that would have been set previously. But in that
> case the user can switch between the strategies at the registry client level
> to execute the right sequence of steps to get the expected end result.
