--------------------------------
Summary: Improve UX for UpdateAttribute rules reorder option
Key: NIFI-16553
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-16553
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Mark Bean
Assignee: Mark Bean
In the UpdateAttribute advanced configuration, rules can be reordered. This is
true only if "Reorder rules" is toggled on. When it is, reordering is
possible, but modifying rules is locked. The "Reorder rules" must be toggled
off to allow modification of rules.
The "Reorder Rules" toggle only appears when "Use original FlowFile for
matching rules" is toggled on.
Consider the case when both "Use original FlowFile for matching rules" and
"Reorder rules" are turned on. Then, "Use original FlowFile for matching rules"
is turned off. The "Reorder rules" is no longer visible and its state cannot be
changed. The user is left in a position of not being able to modify rules.
Whenever "Use original FlowFile for matching rules" is disabled, the "Reorder
rules" should be disabled as well. This prevents the locking of rules, and it
is consistent with expected behavior where the order of rules is irrelevant
when not using the original FlowFile for matching rules.
