NiFi follows the semantic versioning guidelines. What your suggesting is
changing the meaning of those fields. They are strings that are meant to be
human-readable (one with the time and the other with the date and time). If we
change them, we could be affecting any existing clients of that API that expect
them to be human-readable strings. The clients I'm referring is anyone
consuming this API in an existing version of NiFi. As you mentioned, in our
case we would need to update the UI (which is a client of this API) to reformat
it as necessary. This is not something we would expect others to do in a
minor/incremental version change or without somehow versioning the API.
As I mentioned earlier, I believe that any field using a JAXB adapter is
currently being interpreted incorrectly by Swagger. While it would be nice if
Swagger could correctly determine the actual data type (a string in this case
and not a date-time) it appears they at least provide a mechanism for setting
it explicitly. We should be taking advantage of that.

> Hi,
> the endpoint /flow/process-group/id is supposed to return lastRefreshed as
> part of ProcessGroupFlowDTO as a DateTime, as indicated here:
> lastRefreshed string (date-time) optional The time the flow for
> the process group was last refreshed.
> as it currently stands, what I am getting doesn't look like a timestamp:
> "lastRefreshed":"14:02:46 AEDT"
> I'm not sure how much of the overall API is affected
> Edit:
> Actually, it seems every date a "date-time" is created we expect the format
> "HH:mm:ss z".
> As per the OpenAPI specs, if a field is annotated "date-time", it should
> respect the RFC 3339 convention
> (https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/2.0.md#data-types).
