Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using:
Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring (34.0.1)

I would like to suggest an improvement to the file filtering functionality, specifically for the date field type.
At the moment, it is only possible to filter files by selecting a specific date. Would it be possible to add the option to filter by a date range, allowing users to select both a start date and an end date?
This would make it much easier and more precise to find files within a specific period.
Also would it be possible to use the same mechanism when searching for a file based on this field?

Thank you.

Aditional Context:
Right now we would use it to filter invoices based on emission date.

Research direction

Start by locating the file-filtering implementation for date metadata and the corresponding file-search path in the Nextcloud metavox app. Trace how the date field currently accepts a single date, then determine the shared behavior needed for a start and end date. Done means users can filter and search files by an inclusive date range, including invoice emission dates.
