Remove duplicate timeDimension field from result data

[paulmsinclair]

Currently when I specify a Time Dimension in a query, the data in the result will include both this plus a duplicate value in another field which is named with a .granularity suffix.

For example if I specify a query like this:

{"timeDimensions": [{"dimension": "Cube.timeDimension", "granularity": "month"}], "measures": ["Cube.measure"]}]}

I am getting a result like this:

{"Cube.timeDimension.month":"2016-08-01T00:00:00.000","Cube.timeDimension":"2016-08-01T00:00:00.000","Cube.measure":1}

One of these 2 fields which both represent the same value, should be removed or there should be a way to tell the backend that we do not want the extra field returned in the result.
This is what I would like returned:

{"Cube.timeDimension":"2016-08-01T00:00:00.000","Cube.measure":1}

As a workaround I can remove the granularity from the timeDimension and specify the field as a regular dimension which enables the required grouping, and removes the unwanted extra field from the result data.

@paulmsinclair Hey Paul! Thanks for posting this one! It was added for backward compatibility and we'll remove it in future versions. However Cube.timeDimension will be removed not Cube.timeDimension.month
