Hi Boris, Good point regarding concurrent tasks; thanks for sharing!
This is a great candidate for something that one should be able to create environment-specific values for, as Bryan suggests. I agree we should create a NiFi JIRA to track this enhancement.

I think we may want to consider making the concurrent tasks work similar to variables, in that we capture the concurrent tasks that the flow was developed with and would use it initially, but then if you have modified this value in the target environment it would not trigger a local change and would be retained across upgrades so that you don't have to reset it. For now you could probably always leave the versioned flow with the lower value of 2, then once you are in prod you bump it to 4 until the next upgrade is available, you then revert the local changes, do the upgrade, and put it back to 4, but its not ideal because it shows a local change the entire time. I don't think there is much you can do differently right now, but I think this is a valid case to create a JIRA for.
