Description

It seems no longer possible to create or update parameters of a parameter context in the latest version of nifi (1.15.0).

The below commands illustrate when the error occurs:

% cli.sh nifi create-param-context -p connection.properties -pcn pc_my_param_context
a0d5b874-017d-1000-9e04-02255ef2eb50 

% cli.sh nifi list-param-contexts -p connection.properties 
#   Id                                     Name                  Inherited Param Contexts   Description   
-   ------------------------------------   -------------------   ------------------------   -----------   
1   a0d5b874-017d-1000-9e04-02255ef2eb50   pc_my_param_context                              (empty)        

% cli.sh nifi set-param -p connection.properties -pcid a0d5b874-017d-1000-9e04-02255ef2eb50 -pn pa_my_param -pv a_value -ps false 

ERROR: Error executing command 'set-param' : Error creating parameter context update request: An unexpected error has occurred. Please check the logs for additional details.
