i know that when we export xml as template, ids are not preserved (what we have on canvas vs on generated temp[ate xml). I wonder about ids from deployment from nifi registry are they preserved ? Best Regards, *Emanuel Oliveira* On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 8:57 PM Kevin Doran wrote: > I’ve alway

I have a lot of interest in this too, as my team has run into these issues as well. I feel like there are also issues in trying to build a pull-request-like workflow, in that most NiFi design is done visually on the canvas but there isn't a good way, that I know of, to represent differences betwee
