Description

Another one from @jdelsman: In our implementation of the OutputControl with times, we don't support the following usecase: For MODFLOW6, users have to manually turn off output control for times where they don't want output. That is quite annoying to do manually, so it would be nice to have a better API for this. The times argument leads to some users thinking this does what they want: Only output for specific timesteps, but instead specifying times only allows users to switch from settings per stress period like "all" to "first".

Research direction

Start by locating the existing OutputControl implementation and its handling of the times argument for MODFLOW6. Clarify the desired per-stress-period and timestep behavior, then update the API so users can select only specified stress periods without manually disabling output. Add coverage for this use case and verify that existing output settings still work.
