Apache NiFi: How to Remove the RouteOnAttribute.Route Attribute Using UpdateAttribute

estefania_rabad — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:55:27 GMT

I have a workflow that routes on attribute depending on a type, but it sets a RouteOnAttribute.Route param on a flow that has all of the filters, I don't want that, how can I prevent the processor to do this? Thanks

@estefania rabadan

There is no processor configuration option to turn off what attributes a processor writes on to a FlowFile it processes. However, you can use the UpdateAttribute processor to remove attributes from FlowFiles.

Thanks,

Matt
