Steps to reproduce:

- Click on a Datetime Input component that has no value set yet. The datetime picker/calendar appears with a default selection (not 100% sure how this selection is decided but it looks like it’s the time that the client was launched)
- Click the up/down arrows above/below one of the time inputs. The calendar closes and no datetime is assigned to the Datetime Input component. Reopening the datetime picker/calendar no longer shows a default selection, and the time is set to 0:00:00

EDIT: Following the same steps with a Datetime Input that has already been given a value does result in the expected behavior
