             Summary: Show bulletins/configuration errors in Configure 
[Component] dialog to allow faster resolution of validation issues
                 Key: NIFI-3807
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3807
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core UI
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
            Reporter: Andy LoPresto


When configuring a processor, there can be many validation issues (e.g. 
{{SSLContextService}} keystore path doesn't exist, etc.). These issues are 
visible when mousing over the warning icon in the controller services listing 
or on the processor on the canvas, but not when editing the component 
properties. If there are multiple issues, it can require a user to open and 
close the dialog multiple times to ensure all the validation errors are 
resolved. 

I propose displaying the errors in the Configure dialog as well. This could be 
any/all of:

* Display a scrollable list of validation errors below the main dialog view. 
Clicking the specific error could send UI focus to the appropriate property 
field
* Highlighting individual property fields with a red glow and error message 
underneath/to the side/with an error icon that allows mouse over
* Other community suggestions...
