Hi.

Reanimating our previous discussion.

Yes, probably. Since any real-world business intelligence assumes that
human-to-machine interaction assume proper limitations on visibility,
accessibility of UI controls (input and output controls, at least) - it
would make sense to give MiNiFi control on computational capabilities, for
the widgets, to avoid computing and exclude unnecessarily re-drawing (if
there wouldn't be a predicted need in transferring ingested data chunks
into NiFi, use any NiFi's processors on the server).
More ordinary and predicted options, combined with the above ones, if about
so-called validation of the use input (internal capabilities of the UI
toolkit, like QT/FLTK/... could be used) - but auto-generated input would
always suggest providing dedicated controls, not the average text box. So I
am assuming that is guaranteed, in such a way.
Advanced options have sense for reflecting some text, graphics (vector,
raster) at specific widgets - and tracking of end-users acknowledgement (UX
features) would be a good matter of the data stream.
Some controls would assume clicking, touching something - that could be a
good option for even driven messaging.
