Hi,  
I'm creating a visualization and I need to filter some dates using the same time range selected in the time picker and I simply don't know how to do so.

Basically, I'm creating a visualization based on an index that contains several dates.  
The "main" one, `event_date` is filtered by the selected date range (top right of the screen).

I'd like to apply this selected date range to another date (`sub_event_date`) within the visualization.  
In other terms, I'd like to know what to write for `lt` and `gte` in order to inherit global time range.

```auto
        {
          "range": {
        "sub_event_date": {
          "gte": "??? Inherit global time range",
          "lt": "??? Inherit global time range"
        }
          }
        }

```

I could not find anything on this topic. Is it something possible ?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Thanks

Hi @Thomas_Pierrot, welcome to the community 👋

You can get current global time range from time filter service in data plugin:

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/5c3527d8a63deefd4fc3ef2d4b5e7381f6c34422/src/plugins/data/public/query/timefilter/timefilter.ts#L103>

Then you can use it to build your custom range filter
