Notes: Citation of multiple pages only lists the first page as source

Hi,
when adding a quote to a note, Zotero automatically adds Author, Year, and Page. However, I noticed that if the quote selected ranges over multiple pages (e.g., 459-456), still only the first page (459) is added. It would be great if Zotero could automatically recognize the page range.
Best,
GN

Can you show a screenshot how you have entered this in the cite bubble?

This is about a PDF annotation spanning several pages, I think. That's indeed only cited as the first page. You can obviously then go into an extracted not and edit the citation to add the full page range, but I take the question to be if that can't be automated:

@adamsmith that's exactly what I meant, thanks
