More Descriptive Error Messages in UI

A user had erroneously set the 'Publication End Date' to a date in the past and when they hit the 'PUBLISH' button, they were presented with an error message that read 'Can't publish video.'

Of course, this is exactly the behavior that is expected, but a more descriptive error would be helpful. In this case, the user was unaware that the 'Publication End Date' field had a value in it, so developers had to be contacted.

Instead of 'Can't publish video.' a more descriptive error message would help out the user. In this case, the error message could be 'Can't publish video (Publication End Date is in the past).

    Great idea. This will reduce operational support.
