Description

How to setup the default location ?

What I Did

When deploy the flow in the nifi client how it is possible to leave the Nifi instance to choice the location itself ?

Thanks a lot

Unfortunately the NiFi server does not have a function for this, because it assumes that it is being operated interactively from a browser session.
We could add a feature to NiPy to calculate a likely location for the Flow or Object to be deployed on the canvas, and I did historically have some example code to do so, but testing it and not impacting existing flows was troublesome so I never chased it down.

Is it not easy enough to set your own location in your deployment script? Or would you rather that deploy_flow_version had a default location like (0,0) as a tuple in NiPy?
