Zotero stopped to process year range correctly (1960-1965 or 1960-)

I have a lot of entries in my library which represent either ongoing editions (e.g., 1960-) or multivolume books (e.g., 1960-1970). I need to cite them as Smith 1960- or Smith 1960-1970. To do so, I fill the slot "Date" with "1960-" or "1960-1970" (with quotes). It worked well in the previous versions, but v.5.0.87 (or maybe earlier) returns bare "Smith 1960" instead.

Use Issued: 1960/1970 in the Extra field until Zotero introduces a more flexible date field -- which will hopefully happen in the medium term, but is unlikely to happen super soon.
