             Summary: GetHTMLElement removes content from resulting flowfiles even when destination is attribute
                 Key: NIFI-4356
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4356
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: Andy LoPresto


As noted in [StackOverflow|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46070288/multiple-gethtml-attributes-in-apache-nifi], {{GetHTMLElement}} processors cannot be chained because the success relationship clears the flowfile content even if the destination is an attribute. I propose the logic be changed to the following:

* Destination = content
  * Replace the flowfile content for the *success* relationship
  * Maintain the content for *original*
* Destination = attribute
  * Maintain the content for *success* and *original*
  * Add a property descriptor for the attribute name
  * Name attributes {{Attribute.1}} as in {{Extract*}} in the event that multiple elements are matched
