Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-3417: ----------------------------------- Would like to understand why templates are tied to a given process group again (i'm sure i'm forgetting). I assume it has to do with permissions for those templates being associated with the permissions of the group in which they were created. > Allow users to delete process groups containing template definitions > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-3417 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3417 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core Framework > Affects Versions: 1.1.1 > Reporter: Andy LoPresto > Priority: Minor > Labels: process-group, template > > As reported on the mailing list, a user encountered an issue trying to delete > what appeared to be an empty process group because it contained template > definitions. > I propose that the error dialog should allow for (2 - 4) options to resolve > this issue: > # Delete this process group and any contained templates (if the process group > is empty, the template definitions are now irrelevant anyway) > # Cancel (current option) > Other possibilities: > # Delete and move all template definitions to the parent process group (this > could cause broken connections/lost definitions) > # Delete and export all template definitions to XML (again, not sure this > would be of any value as the components and connections no longer exist) > This probably needs some discussion, especially if [~mcgilman] can weigh in. > [Link to mailing list > thread|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/10ad2b010bfd4a24e67ca1ad606247a359ce5b47f7db95c03c98cd4d@%3Cusers.nifi.apache.org%3E] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
