 When you change the lifetime param you can see how __shortly after you have typed //20// the parameter field changes color briefly to yellow. This means the input is being validated__ and only after the field turns back to white is the input validated successfully and applied to the emitter. In case of faulty input you get a red Eden notification, the field turns red for a moment and then the field gets applied with either the default datatype for that field or the last known validated input. When you change the lifetime param you can see how __shortly after you have typed //20// the parameter field changes color briefly to yellow.
