According to the current documentation, `runtime_fields` cannot be of the data type `range`. Are there any plans or open issues or PRs to add this functionality? We have a lot of indices that contain two fields of type date which mark a start and a beginning, for visualisation purposes it would be very convenient to display the range between these dates.

I can't see anything in GitHub myself, might be worth making a feature request 🙂
