PDF button custom header dynamic

m75sa

I need to customize the pdf export header by adding the date of the selected datatables calendar.

But it seems to don't work.

So i have the datatables calendar with an input field called #min

<input type="text" id="min" name="min" >

and the custom pdf export button like this:

{ extend: 'pdf', title: 'TITLE DATE IS '+$('#min').val(), text: '<a class="btn" style="color: #FFFFFF;  padding: 0  !important; height: fit-content !important;"><i class="fas fa-file-pdf"></i> PDF</a>', orientation: 'landscape',  
...

in this case, in the pdf i can see the header title without the date selected in the calendar

I also used cookies to store values and get it dynamically but the same, the value is empty

any help

This example from this thread should help, it's showing how to use the search string in the title,
