Date picker values for passing as parameter values

Hey,
I have been trying to pass date values from a date slicer(can also be used as a date picker) but does not happen to work and for that reason I have to populate a list of dates from a certain year to select date values. This approach is not feasible from User-experience point of view. Are there any updates or would power bi be addressing this issue any time?

Any help will be much appreciated. 
Thanks!
