Small improvement to date range field

Hello! This is a very small thing but I believe it would be a worthwhile improvement to readability. Currently the date range field displays both the start and end dates even if they’re the same. This leads to long, redundant displays. If you add in times you can wind up with something like:

October 10, 2022 00:00 → October 10, 2022 00:00

I think it would be much better if any redundant information were left out. I have in mind something along the following lines:

October 10, 2022 00:00 → October 10 01:00 becomes October 10, 2022 00:00 → 01:00
October 10, 2022 00:00 → October 10, 2022 00:00 becomes October 10, 2022 00:000

Actually, it would be nice if the date picker could distinguish whether the user had input a time or not. Then if the user had not entered a time the display could be:

October 10, 2022

And if they had entered a time, it could be:

October 10, 2022 00:00

I like this idea, minor, but a nice little piece of polish/usability improvement. But I’m out of votes. :wink:
