             Summary: Conditionally show version changes in versioned flow differences
                 Key: NIFI-14442
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14442
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
            Reporter: Michael W Moser


Currently, if a Flow stored in a FlowRegistry uses version 2.0.0 of components, and that Flow is imported into a NiFi version 2.3.0, the components are automatically upgraded to 2.3.0 and the Flow is considered up-to-date.  If I make a change to the Flow and view local changes, I am not informed that the commit would includes a version change from 2.0.0 to 2.3.0.

This issue proposes to show the version number difference as a Local Change.  We will still consider a Flow that only has "environmental changes", such as version number, as unchanged and up-to-date.  As soon as a non-environmental change is made, then the components version number difference will be shown.

For example, if I have a Versioned Flow from NiFi 1.28.1 with GenerateFlowFile and JSLTTransformJSON, and I make a JSLTTransformJSON property change in a NiFi version 2.4.0, then I would see three changes:
||Component Name||Change Type||Difference||
|JSLTTransform|Property Value Changed|From 'true' to 'false'|
| |Component Bundle Changed|nifi-standard-nar version 1.28.1 to 2.4.0|
| |Component Bundle Changed|nifi-jslt-nar version 1.28.1 to 2.4.0|
