Hello,

I want to use QGIS to create a QGIS Server WMS-Time that displays a time 
period.
- The PostGIS table for the layer contains a 'time' column stored as a 
date, with annual values such as 2019-01-01, 2020-01-01, 2021-01-01 ...
- In the layer 'properties -temporal' I have set:
     - Configuration: Fixed period
     - Start inclusive, End exclusive
     - Start date: 2017-01-01 00:00:00
     - End date: 2024-01-01 00:00:00


The following appears in the getCapabilities document:

<Dimension multipleValues="1" units="ISO8601" name="time" 
nearestValue="0" default="2017-01-01">
2017-01-01, 2018-01-01, 2019-01-01, 2020-01-01, 2021-01-01, 2022-01-01, 
2023-01-01
</Dimension>


However, I would like to obtain a time range that should look like this 
in the getCapabilities document:

<Dimension name="time" units="ISO8601" default="2004" 
nearestValue="0">2017/2023/P2Y</Dimension>


Is it possible to get this information in the getCapabilities document?
What settings do I need to configure?


Best regards
Thekla
