How to Create Independent Start & End Date Pickers with Default 14-Day Selection

Hello everyone,

I have a requirement in Qlik Sense that I'm struggling with. I'm using two separate Date Picker objects for a start date and an end date.

Here's my specific challenge:

When I select a date in one date picker, it automatically impacts the selection in the second date picker. I need these two calendars to be independent of each other so that selecting a start date does not affect the end date, and vice versa.
I also need to set a default selection for both date pickers upon opening the app. The start date should be Today() - 14, and the end date should be Today(). How can I implement these default selections so they are applied automatically?
Data Display: I need to display data in my charts and tables based on the date range selected by these two independent calendars.
Could you please provide guidance on the correct method to implement this functionality? Any examples or step-by-step instructions would be very helpful.

Did you try to use Alternate states?
