Description

The Reporting Task name is only set on the ReportingTask itself during initialize(), which is only called the first time the ReportingTask is instantiated. This means if you change the name of the ReportingTask and restart it, The ReportingTask has its original name and the current name is inaccessible via the ConfigurationContext it is passed later. If you restart NiFi, the new name is set and stays that way.

Rather than calling initialize() more than once, it is proposed to make the current name (and any other appropriate properties) available perhaps via ConfigurationContext which is passed to methods annotated with OnScheduled.
