Include in the documentation of Chart’s period parameter examples with `-`

[dilyanpalauzov]

With OH 4.2.2 I log the data for a field, which is included in a sitemap as

Chart item=i period=D refresh=60000

In BasicUI when I click on the chart I can select for what period to show the data - last two years, last year, … last week, last hour, next hour, next two hours, next four hours, ..., next two years. As for this item there are no forecasts, I want to remove from the menu the option to select future periods. The availability of these future options clutters the menu with not needed parameters, making the choices more time consuming.

The period parameter for the Chart element - https://www.openhab.org/docs/ui/sitemaps.html#element-type-chart - seems to be supposed to allow selection of what time frames to show for the chart. It speaks about dash - as separator between past and future. But whatever I try with a dash, like period=D- the syntax is declared as invalid.

• Include in the documantion of Chart’s period parameter examples, e.g. how to hide in BasicUi the option to select future periods.

I think it first makes sense to discuss this in the forum and whatever the outcome is that would make it necessary to update the documentation, we can then do it.

This issue has been mentioned on openHAB Community. There might be relevant details there:

An example can be added but this will not disable anything in menu in Basic UI.

An example can be added but this will not disable anything in menu in Basic UI.

So these are two things: Example, and Means in Basic UI to disable past or future data in charts.

Not implemented.
