@jvwing Thanks for reviewing. This was a feature that my team added to our
Nifi fork some time ago. I think it was done because the existing functionality
does not support regular expressions, and was found to be more cumbersome to
use than simply setting dynamic attributes. However I agree with your point
that it doesn't make sense to have two custom header methods, so I will close.
