[jira] [Commented] (NIFIREG-231) NiFi Registry variable registry hierarchy problem

["Bryan Bende (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-231?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16788298#comment-16788298 ] 

Bryan Bende commented on NIFIREG-231:
-------------------------------------

[~Max Kelada] I think this is working as expected...

When a new version is committed in NiFi, it captures all of the variable references and their current values and sends them registry, even if they came from a parent group.

Once the version is in registry, it has no more knowledge that there was even a parent group, so I'm not sure what we could indicate here. If this version is imported to another NiFi instance, it may or may not have a parent group with that variable.

> We have ran into the where i am building my flow, and i am using variables from the variable registry from a scope outside of my current process group. as well as variables from the scope of my current process group
> After committing the flow i sent a GET request to :
> <<nifi-registy-url>>/nifi-registry-api/buckets/<<bucket-id>>/flows/<<flow-id>>/versions/<<current-version>>
> when looking inside the flow/flowContents/variables section i saw both variables, one from the outer scope of the process group and one from scope of the versioned flow with no way to tell them apart, there should be a way to tell apart these two variables.
