Joey Frazee resolved NIFI-7593.
-------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

[~malthe] This is intentional as account names can correspond to publicly 
accessible resources and storing this in plain text or visible to a variety of 
users presents a security risk if the flow.xml.gz is compromised or a template 
is unintentionally shared, etc.

I agree that it's very unintuitive but it's important to do.

I'm going to close this, but I want to ask, do you think it'd be helpful to 
have this rationale documented somewhere in the user guide?

> This seems wrong and also causes some usability issues with parameter context

> Note that while the fix for this is trivial, it could have real implications 
> for existing flows.
