Rob Moran commented on NIFI-6634:
---------------------------------
The suggested content for the documentation is great! In the UI I think we need
to be very brief and point them to the docs so they can quickly understand. So
something like:
*Parameters are replacing variables. [Learn more|http://example.com] about the
greater power and security of parameters.*
"Learn more" can link to the parameters section of the docs.
> UI - Indicate variable are no longer recommended and favor parameters

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Core UI
> Reporter: Robert Fellows
> Priority: Major
>
> Variables less powerful than parameters. Specifically, they don't support
> sensitive values. On the Variables dialog, this should be conveyed to the
> user to help guide them to use parameters instead.
> One suggestion for wording:
> "Variables are still supported for compatibility purposes but they do not
> allow the same power as Parameters such as support for sensitive parameters.
> Variables will be removed in a later release so please change to using
> parameters."
