             Summary: Retain groupId and Id identifiers when importing Flows from registry
                 Key: NIFIREG-221
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-221
             Project: NiFi Registry
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: eric twilegar


We started using Nifi registry with Git integration to have some insight into the changes being made and create a relatively standard SDLC for our Nifi process groups ( read jobs ).

When we started only one user was making changes and so the git history was pretty good.

When a second user imported a flow to their local machine, made changes, committed those changes and we deployed them we took a look in Git to see the changes the user had made.

The git diff was riddled with id and groupId process identifier changes which made the history less useful than it could have been.

I'm not sure what your future plans are for Git so this might come out in the wash, but we are looking forward to being able to see the diffs, approve them and so on. I realize PRs could be a real issue as this stuff doesn't merge well, but eventually we might want a PR from a registry to registry so this could all tie together.

Thanks so much for the great work. Have a wonderful day.
