Description: Hi secretariat,

We currently publish a few datasets that use a date range in the "eventDate" field. Currently, these are not interpreted by the portal, and users have to go to the verbatim record to see any date... My questions are:

- Is it planned to soon support ranges in that field (when publishing trough the IPT, some range examples are shown... hence some confusion)
- If so, will it be possible to communicate on the supported formats, for example trough IPT "field help" ?
- Will you also support date ranges starting and ending on the same day (then interpreting them as a single date) ? That would be easier to publish for datasets including both "real date ranges" on some records, and "identical start/end" on some others ?

Thanks for all the great work !

Nico
