[jira] [Comment Edited] (NIFI-6162) Empty value checkbox fails to
empty the value and the input field
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6162?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16806858#comment-16806858 ]

------------------------------------------------------------
[~aboda] The behavior you're describing is currently working as designed. That checkbox is to differentiate between an empty string and clearing the value. When checked in conjunction with a value being set the user input is ambiguous. When this happens we opted to retain the currently configured value for two reasons
- Prevents loss of configuration
- The empty string scenario is less common
So because of this, we favor the currently configured value. If the user wants to configure a value they type it in. If the user wanted to clear the value they delete text and submit it. If the user wants an empty string they clear the value and indicate the intention is an empty string.
