Description
The documentation should note that changes within a single instance of the UpdateAttribute processor do not affect each other, since it doesn't handle dependencies between other attribute updates on the same instance of the processor.
For instance, if an attribute X is created, a separate update for attribute Y on the same processor instance cannot depend on the resulting value of X. In this case X would have to be updated in one processor instance and Y would have be updated in a downstream process instance so that the new value of X will be reflected on the incoming flow file.
