Fabio Coutinho updated NIFI-4916:
---------------------------------
Description:
When converting a flowfile containing an XLS file to CSV, the newly generated
flowfiles do not inherit the attributes from the original one.
Without the original flowfile's attributes, important information retrieved
before conversion (for example, file metadata) cannot be used after the file is
converted. I have attached 2 image files showing the attributes before and
after conversion. Please note that the input file has a lot of metadata
retrieved from Amazon S3 that does not exist on the new flowfile.
I believe that like most other NiFi processors, the original attributes should
be copied to new flowfiles.
