Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem in the datetime picker: clear the value without leaving the component, reopen the picker, and select a date. Trace how the blank or invalid input is handled before the selected date is displayed. Done means the newly picked date appears after this sequence, with a regression test if the project’s existing test setup supports it.
