moranr commented on issue #3281: NIFI-5986 Adding "Stop & Configure" button functionality to Processor… URL: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/3281#issuecomment-477120313 @aeaversa I like the new icon since it is a combination of the pre-existing ones. > If we are considering a case where the Processor is running and the user wants to configure it (not from the Processor Details dialog) I would suggest we take a combined approach. The user would still select the Stop menu item from the context menu as they would today. From there we could immediately show the Configure menu item even if there are active threads since we won't activate the Apply button until those threads complete. I agree with @mcgilman 's thoughts here. I think that would be a step in the right direction to alleviate some of the navigation deficiencies around configuration, but I don't think offering additional context menu options combining existing actions is part of the solution. To further improvement in this area, I think having a separate discussion around changing the native behavior of NiFi could be worthwhile. By that I mean something like making 'configure' always available and if a component is running it is automatically stopped (for config changes to take place), then restarted (if it was previously running) once changes are applied.
