[jira] [Updated] (NIFI-9186) Add diff for NiFi process groups, regardless of Registry version status

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9186?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

John Wise updated NIFI-9186:
----------------------------
    Description: 
NiFi needs diff capabilities for process groups, preferably with a UI component & not just an API endpoint like Registry which produces massive, non-human-readable JSON blobs.

NiFi diff should be able to compare process groups whether they're versioned in Registry or not.  We have multiple people changing the canvas on any given day.  Some of these are one-off or temporary changes which need to be reverted or manually changed back, but it's difficult to know what changed & where it was changed at any given moment.

Ideally, any diff UI added to NiFi would also be added to the Registry, because the current diff implementation there isn't very usable.
