> 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.
