report_editdates timelinemax setting?

I am trying to make a test copy of our Moodle site so as to be able to safely test the big upgrade from Moodle 3.5 to 3,9 and underlying OS from Debian 9 to 10.

I have managed to copy the site, data, and DB successfully, but now I am presented with the following message from the editdates plugin when logged in as an admin, which I do not recall seeing before:

The settings shown below were added during your last Moodle upgrade. Make any changes necessary to the defaults and then click the 'Save changes' button at the bottom of this page.

New settings - Dates
timelinemax
report_editdates | timelinemax
Default: 3

timelinemaxdesc


I have had a look at the editdates site and repo, but can't see anything that explains this setting.

Is there a way that I can check what this setting is on the original site (I have tried searching all the above keywords in the administration area, with no luck), or what the setting values mean or should be?

(I suspect that accepting the default would probably be fine, but want to be sure.)
