Description

Create a new process Group.

Add "Variables" to the process group:

for example:
broker_uri=tcp://localhost:4141
client_libs=/NiFi/custom-lib-dir/MQlib
con_factory=blah

Then while that process group is selected, create a controller service.

Create JMSConnectionFactory.

Configure this controller service to use EL for PG defined variables above:

${con_factory}, ${con_factory}, and ${broker_uri}

The controller service will remain invalid because the EL statements are not properly resolved to their set values.

Doing the exact same thing above using the external NiFi registry file works as expected.
