Hi @bdesert - unfortunately, since this processor has been already released
with NiFi 1.5.0, we cannot change the name of the properties in a minor release
as it would break the existing workflows. That's why we encourage the use of
both name() and displayName() when a new processor is created so that we can
change the displayName() value without impacting existing workflows. I think
you can just drop the changes for properties name and just leave the log level
change.
