Andy LoPresto commented on NIFI-4101:
-------------------------------------
I do think this is an ambitious feature idea. While not close to solving the
problem stated here, you can clean up the connection lines by double clicking
on the lines to add navigation points and drag them to avoid or reduce
intersections.
I'll open a separate Jira for another idea I just had -- selecting a component
highlights (without selecting) all of its upstream and downstream connections
to help illustrate where the data is flowing.

> I'd like to be able to create something like ports to transport flowfiles
> around a process group to avoid having criss-crossed relationship lines like
> in the attached screenshot.
> I drew something that represents what I'm talking about and attached a
> sketch. I recreated the flow from the screenshot using portals.
> Portals would kind of be like funnels in that they don't have functionality
> of their own and have a queue for each relationship attached to them.
