             Summary: sensitive parameter with reference to parameter context isn't copied to template
                 Key: NIFI-8694
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8694
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jul Tomten


When a sensitive paramter holds a pointer to the paramter context the #\{mypassowrd} isn't sensitive and should therefore be copied into the template.

 

When you restore the template it is typically on a different host with a different parameter context. When you import the template all sensitive parameters are blank and the references to the passwords in the paramter context are lost. You expect the #\{mypassowrd} to be restored with the template.

Now it's necessary to go through and find all compnenets with sensitive parameters and set the passwords after import of a template. This is a massive pain with a big flow.
