Liquid is rendered at server side, so you can't get values from elements that are still to be rendered on the client-side

can you tell a bit more of your requirement? there might be other ways to achieve that

Hi Soundar,

As Oliver suggested, you can't pass javascript variable to liquid snippet.

It could be said that liquid will always excute before javascript, which means we can pass liquid variable to javascript side;

On the contrary, we couldn't do it.

If you would like to add custom filters for your retrieving result,

it's highly recommended to render an entity list and enable its build-in filters directly.

{% include 'entity_list' key: page.adx_entitylist.id %}

Web template:

Entity list with its "Metadata Filter" option has been enabled.

Rendered entity list:

If you would still like to use custom input control/element, then you could create an odata set from entity list and send value from custom input field as filter to endpoint of the set.

Hi Akshay, this is a very old thread, I would recommend creating a new post on the power apps portals forum: powerusers.microsoft.com/.../PowerAppsPortals

Also not sure I understand what you need.. do you have a datepicker, or a textbox?

when/how are you rendering your form? can you share code/snapshots?
