Daniel Stieglitz updated NIFI-15601:
------------------------------------
Description:
While working NIFI-15596, I noticed if a number with more than one period is
entered for the flow file expiration on a connection (e.g. 1.1.1 min), the UI
returns an error with the text
{code:java}
multiple points{code}
while when a number is not entered but rather characters (e.g. obe min) the
error message is
{code:java}
Flow file expiration is not a valid time duration (ie 30 sec, 5 min){code}
As a user, I would rather consistently see the latter message as there is an
example of how the format should look as opposed to the multiple points message
which is not as clear.
Also as a developer that message is no where in the code base so it is hard to
know the source of the error.
The objective of this ticket is to always have the the latter error message no
matter what incorrect text is entered for the flow file expiration.
