Description

We use NiFi Registry extensively to CM process groups across a multitude of NiFi clusters.  Currently, we have ~30 buckets and nearly 400 versioned process groups.

The "Import Version" dialog only displays a single Bucket and Flow Name, using non-standard divs in place of standard form controls.  That makes it time-consuming and difficult to find a given flow.  Ideally, both fields would be composed of a grid control with ~10 rows each.

Also, a search box on the same dialog would make it easier to find a given flow (by name, description, or comment), rather than having to potentially navigate through multiple buckets and flow lists to find the correct flow(s).
