Not clear whether you guys agreed it is a bug or not :). IMO it's not a bug. But issue is still opened...

So, improvement can be made: we can add a property "Evaluate Text" (true/false) with default as "true", so it will be backward compatible.

Thoughts?

>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.1.1, 1.0.1, 1.3.0
>            Reporter: Pierre Villard
>            Priority: Critical

> If you take a GFF with custom text: {{test$$foo}}
> The generated text will be: {{test$foo}}
> The property supports expression language and one $ is removed during the EL evaluation step. This can be an issue if a user wants to use a value containing to consecutive $$ (such as in password fields).
