Matt Gilman commented on NIFI-3781:
-----------------------------------
[~rmoran] The reasoning behind the original approach is that actionable things
(configuring, enabling, disabling, etc) are located in the right most 'actions'
column while read-only items (details, bulletins, etc) are located in the left
most 'moreDetails' column.
> Controller Service Config Dialog 'View Details' button feels confusing and
> inconsistent with Processors

>
> If a Processor is running, the user is able to right-click and "View
> Configuration." If stopped, the user is able to right-click and "Configure."
> With Controller Services, however, there is always a "View Details" (which is
> essentially the same as View Configuration). There is an "Edit" button only
> when the service is disabled.
> Often, I find myself clicking the "View Details" icon when a service is
> disabled and trying to configure the service, but I can't because it is a
> read-only view.
> I recommend removing the "View Details" icon from the left-hand side and
> instead have the right-hand side offer either "View Configuration" or
> "Configure" based on whether the service is enabled or disabled. I feel this
> is more consistent with how Processors work.
