Hi Andrea, thanks I'll start firing an issue to keep track of this. Hugo thanks for your questions, well actually geoserver is already providing such functionality it's just not declaring that into the GetCapabilities.
When you have a custom dimension (but also works over time and elevation) you can have a list of values to select in the request. Let me make an example: Having a dimension called 'x' with values a,b,c you may want to query the server with: &DIM_x=a or (if the server is supporting that) &DIM_x=a,b which may return granules from you both values of that dimension. What we are missing apparently is 'multipleValue' as attribute in the getCapabilities letting the clients know that the server is capable of returning tiles resulting from multiple values of the same dimension. It's still unclear to me if this also apply to dimensions with interval or duration (my usecase at the moment is related only to lists of custom dimensions) Best, C.
