Hello,
I need to create a date parameter on the slider object which will update when the dataset update .
The probleme is that the parameter keeps creation date and doesn't updates.
How can I deal with this please ?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards
Is the Set value to dynamic maximum not working for the slider? If not, which version are you using.

In addition to what Madelyn suggested, be sure that the Maximum Value setting for your parameter is something in the future.

When I add the date parameter.
The set value to dynamic maximum is disabled
I am using 8.5.2 version
You cannot use both the fixed and the dynamic options.

Thank you for your reply.
In my report, I have a filter page that applies to the different pages of the report.
I want to use 2 sliders like this ( start date / end date )
And I need to capture the date selection in a parameter for filtering objects in different pages of the report
We have date since 2017 and the easiest way is to use the slider.
Thanks,
I ran into this several times before, I did like you placing 2 sliders assigning them a parameter for start and end-date. I think I could even manage to subject the second slider's entry to the first in order to avoid empty ranges.
The Visual Analytics development team should prepare the slider for this min max usage...
I could imagine that you can force auto-refresh by doing a dummy calculation with the date and use this new date.
Like x+y and treat as number and treat as date afterwords. Or add and substract today() from the date...
I will communicate this issue to the development team.
I know that you are using a dedicated page to set your filters, but if you created a date slider as a report control, I believe that it would give you what you want. It would just be at the top of the report instead of on a page. The "dynamic maximum" option would be available.

I communicated the issue to product management. I can't make any promises as to timing, but this limitation is being tracked as an issue.
