Github user jskora commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/116#issuecomment-157272302 @trkurc, this is not a problem fix but an enhancement based on discussion that occurred on [NIFI-641|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-641]. It seemed easy enough, but the validation issues probably out weigh the value. Postponing until [NIFI-813|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-813] provides a means to handle potential errors, but if mixing Regex and Expression Language can only be handled with a Failure relationships, maybe it's better to not mix the them and allow separate properties so the Regex can be validated and the EL expression can produce a list of attributes that can be ignored if they don't exist. Thoughts? until they can be added without adding risk.
