> Macro (aura-html)

Some list based actions support data filtering parameter **startDate** and **endDate** as indicated in the [Reference](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/68458160). This describes in more detail what that means.

- **getQuestionList** - based on the data the question was asked
- **runFromQuestionList** - based on the data the question was asked

# Parameters:

1. [startDate](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/68454646) - Earliest date to get data.
2. [endDate](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/68454895) - Latest date for data entries. Default to now (most recent).

The dates should be specified to match the [dateFormat](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/68458213) parameter. If not provided, the local default format will be tried. The CLI also tries (release 4.3 and higher) some standard default formats like: **yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss**.
