   This fix solves the issue of the disappearing XML element value, and is in accordance with the current implementation of converting this:
   `<record>
     <num>123</num>
     <software favorite="true">Apache NiFi</software>
   </record>`
   to this:
   `<record>
     <num>123</num>
     <software>
       <favorite>true</favorite>
       <value>Apache NiFi</value>
     </software>
   </record>`
   that is: the XML attribute is moved to an XML element (record field in NiFi) and the content is moved to an element (field) named "value".
   
   However, this fix does not solve the issue that emerged with the introduction of the above logic, which is: if the XML element that has an attribute already has a child element named "value", the content of that gets overwritten:
   `<record>
     <num>123</num>
     <software favorite="true">Apache <value>something</value>NiFi</software>
   </record>`
   Output:
   `<record>
     <num>123</num>
     <software>
       <favorite>true</favorite>
       <value>Apache NiFi</value>
     </software>
   </record>`
   the value "something" is lost.
