hi.

CREATE TABLE fpo_instead_base (id int, valid_at daterange, val int);
INSERT INTO fpo_instead_base VALUES (1, '[2024-01-01,2024-12-31)', 100);
CREATE VIEW fpo_instead_view AS SELECT * FROM fpo_instead_base;
CREATE FUNCTION fpo_instead_trig_fn() RETURNS trigger LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$
BEGIN
    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$;
CREATE TRIGGER fpo_instead_trig INSTEAD OF UPDATE ON fpo_instead_view
  FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE FUNCTION fpo_instead_trig_fn();

UPDATE fpo_instead_view FOR PORTION OF valid_at FROM '2024-04-01' TO
'2024-08-01'
    SET val = 999 WHERE id = 1
    RETURNING *;

 id |        valid_at         | val
----+-------------------------+-----
  1 | [2024-01-01,2024-12-31) | 999
(1 row)

Should I expect the column `valid_at` value as [2024-04-01,2024-08-01) ?

We should also document this on doc/src/sgml/ref/update.sgml
Attached is a minor regession test enhancement for
"v2-0001-Fix-INSTEAD-OF-triggers-with-DELETE-UPDATE-FOR-PO.patch".
