Koji Kawamura resolved NIFI-5677. --------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: 1.9.0 > Add/clarify why modifying/creating variables are not considered local changes > in versioned flows > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: NIFI-5677 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5677 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation & Website > Reporter: Andrew Lim > Assignee: Andrew Lim > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.9.0 > > > There has been some confusion over why creating or modifying variables in a > versioned flow do not trigger local changes in the flow. > Will improve the relevant section in the User Guide > (https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/user-guide.html#managing_local_changes) > with the following clarifications: > Modifying doesn’t trigger local changes because variable values are intended > to be different in each environment. When a flow is imported to an > environment, it is assumed there is a one-time operation required to set > those variables specific for the given environment. > Creating a variable doesn’t trigger a local change because just creating a > variable on its own has not changed anything about what the flow processes. > A component will have to be created/modified that uses the new variable, > which will trigger a local change. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
