Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-3646:
-----------------------------------

[~ncarenza] can you talk more about how you envision this working compared to the current approach?

The current approach lets you connect a processor to another processor and then allows you to specify a range of important details about that connection such as the source relationship name, back pressure settings, etc..  This seems like the right model.  

Can you compare your proposal to that?  It looks like you're suggesting we list off one more more possible relationship names then grab that one to create an actual connection.

Or, are you simply asking for a way to see the relationship names of all connections leaving a processor whenever you hoever over that processor?  This would be not because you want to add more connections but simply so you could more easily understand the existing ones?  Keep in mind a connection can represent one or more relationships.

> When hovering over a processor, instead of showing a single add-connection element in the middle, show an array of connections. I attached an image example.
