Hi community,

For years Superset users have asked for a simple date picker option for time 
range filtering. I know I have had users complain that all of the current 
options are too complex for them.

Now there is a PR that implements it: 
https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/44527 Thank you Pravin Maske for your 
work on this!

Before it gets merged, there is an open question from a long-standing SIP, 
SIP-116, that originally proposed this addition. (The PR author developed this 
PR independent of the SIP design discussion). That question is, should this be 
a new kind of dashboard native filter (that's what is on the PR now) or should 
it be combined into the existing time range filter? And if combined, does it 
become a new option or do we integrate it into e.g., the advanced filter?

Here's my link to that thread and a particular comment I left (feel free to 
read the whole discussion though, a lot of thought has been put into this 
discussion): 
https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/26651#issuecomment-6164814918

I would like to hear from Superset users or admins (on that SIP-116 discussion 
thread ideally, though here is okay too): where should this simple date picking 
functionality live?

More input would be really helpful here! We can always combine things later, 
but doing so now would avoid a migration, and the developer of this feature 
seems committed to responding to whatever changes the community agrees upon to 
get this to the best place possible before merging. The Superset community 
needs your user feedback here.

Thanks,
