Inconsistencies between Time and Duration dimension group types?

[arjunb]

Why do “duration” dimension groups prefix a “Duration “ to the dimension group name, whereas “time” dimension groups suffix a “Date” to the end of the label?

Wouldn’t it be more reasonable to choose one standard and stick with it consistently? Arguably, the Duration method is easier from a UX point of view, since it groups by type.

Hi arjunb,

If you would like to group all date dimension groups together, you could use the group_label parameter to do this. For example, for closed date dimension group, you can add

dimension_group: closed {
  group_label: "Date Closed"
}

In a similar way, you could change the duration dimension group label with the same parameter.

Hope this helps,

Naomi
