[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-16276) Parameter context is removed from process group after upgrading from version control

["Eric Secules (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-16276?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18111761#comment-18111761 ] 

Eric Secules commented on NIFI-16276:
-------------------------------------

I have also found a workaround. If a ProcessGroup is stored in version control even with an empty parameter context, you will no longer loose the actual assigned parameter context when upgrading the versions of instances of your shared process group.

> If a process group are put in version control without a parameter context. But are used with a parameter context set directly on the PG, an update to a new version will remove the paramter context again.
> There are cases where a shared PG could be used many places, and reference to paramters which are set in a parameter context for the parent pg instead of a paramter context associated directly with the shared PG. Therefore the PG didn't have a paramter context when put in version control. But a parameter context are applied to the PG when it is used.
> But when updateing to a newer version, since the version control says there are no parameter context, the update process removes the paramter context which was set in the used place
