You can probably achieve it with the reltime command and setting it to a token from within a hidden search. 

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.2/SearchReference/Reltime

Here is an example dashboard:

<form>
  <label>Reltime</label>
  <search>
    <query>
      | makeresults 
      | addinfo 
      | eval _time = info_min_time | reltime | rename reltime as reltime1
      | eval _time = info_max_time | reltime | rename reltime as reltime2
    </query>
    <earliest>$time_token.earliest$</earliest>
    <latest>$time_token.latest$</latest>
    <done>
      <set token="reltime1">$result.reltime1$</set>
      <set token="reltime2">$result.reltime2$</set>
    </done>
  </search>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="time" token="time_token">
      <label></label>
      <default>
        <earliest>-7d@h</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Events between $reltime1$ and $reltime2$</title>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>
            | makeresults 
            | addinfo 
            | eval _time = info_min_time | reltime | rename reltime as reltime1
            | eval _time = info_max_time | reltime | rename reltime as reltime2
          </query>
          <earliest>$time_token.earliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$time_token.latest$</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>
