There is also another PR that seems to add some additional changes along with the autorange changes in this PR : #12954

[mangrisano]

I've just read that there's another PR for this issue and it seems to be more complete than mine. What am I suppose to do in this case?

[eamanu]

Hello, like say @tirkarthi this PR is related to #12954
and seems more complete that this.

But, this PR is older (one PR older) and receive more feedback.
