From user feedback:

The range slider allows to search only starting from the year 1950. Fortunately, the user can type to text fields earlier years and find historical data this way. The user should be able to select earlier years with range slider.

Based on user group feedback, minimum date will be left unchanged. Awaiting further user feedback and will revisit if necessary.

I am reopening this issue since we received a request through helpdesk asking about data from the 19th century. Might not have been that intuitive for the user that it is possible to type in a broader date.

Do a query to see the oldest data we have across all records

Set the slider to the date of the oldest record

Will not be fixed by codebase upgrade, but will be worked on after
