"From" and "To" language evokes the idea of source and destination ports which is not what is meant here. You're really setting the first and last ports in a range. I don't think there's any sensible way to fix this bug that maintains 2 input fields. There should be a single "destination port" field that supports a sensible port specification syntax. I'm a fan of nmap syntax [1]:
Single Port: 1234
Port Range: 1234-1236
Port List: 22,443,1234
This is related to #955878, which calls this problem out among others and was marked wontfix due to too many unrelated issues being reported in one bug.
