--------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Mark Bean)
> Allow bulk update of connection settings
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-14877
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14877
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Mark Bean
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
