Mark Bean updated NIFI-14877:
-----------------------------
Description:
It is desirable to be able to bulk update connection settings. Specifically,
the settings for FlowFile Expiration, Back Pressure Object Threshold and Size
Threshold. These settings may have been set initially by inheriting the default
values specified at the process group level. After initial build-out of a flow,
it may be determined the default settings need to be updated. This requires
going to dozens or perhaps hundreds of connections individually to update.
A new option to bulk update all connections would make the process easier, less
time-consuming and less error-prone. This feature would be similar in
convenience to the bulk operation of "Empty All Queues".
Since it is being applied in bulk, a warning/confirmation pop-up should be
displayed - again, similar to the "Empty All Queues" option.
>From a UI/UX perspective, a new item on the context menu can be added. The
>FlowFile Expiration and Back Pressure settings should be treated separately.
>So, there can be a main context menu item "Update Connections" with two
>sub-menu choices, "Apply Default Expiration" and "Apply Default Back
>Pressure".
For each option, the respective default FlowFile expiration or default back
pressure settings (both object and size) of the containing Process Group would
be applied to all Connections within the Process Group.
After a selection is made, a pop-up can be displayed asking "Apply
recursively?" (Appropriately detailed wording should be provided.) Confirmation
buttons for "Yes", "No" and "Cancel" should be available.

For each of the above mentioned Process Group settings (expiration and
backpressure object/size), two checkboxes should be presented: one for "Apply
to all existing Connections" and one for "Apply to child Process Groups".
Apply to all existing Connections: This option would update all existing
connections in the current and all child process groups.
Apply to child Process Groups: This option will update the default settings of
the current and all child process groups without modifying any existing
connections.
