[QuantityType] Time does not accept y as unit

Expected Behavior

If setting up an Item of type Number:Time, it should be possible to use y as unit.

Number:Time bsP1Age "Alter" (gScale) ["Duration"] {channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:bs444:age", unit="y"}

should result in an Item state with years and fractions of years, e.g. 50 y or 50.83 y

Current Behavior

when defining the Item as above, this results in a warning:

[WARN ] [penhab.core.library.items.NumberItem] - Unit 'y' could not be parsed to a known unit. Keeping old unit 's' for item 'bsP1Age'.

Environment

  • Version used: openHAB4.1.0 (but also true for older versions)
  • Operating System and version: debian bookworm (amd64 in proxmox lxc)

Interestingly, the corresponding channel is also of type number with unit y and openHAB does not complain about (but the value isn't calculated correctly from y to s)

Type number : age "Alter" [ stateTopic="bs444/udo/", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.age", unit="y" ]

All other units (s, min, d, h, week) seem to work as intended.

I just had a quick look at the underlying code from indriya and our code, it looks like y should be supported. Can you please define a Number:Time item with unit s and update it from the console openhab:update MyItem "1 y" and check if that works?

This is a bug in indriya. While the symbols are added for hour, minute, day, they are missing for week, month, year (even though they are declared).
