# **Unexpected Behaviors**

- DateTime input component is displaying initial binding value and not updating.

# **Expected Behavior**

- DateTime input would show the “Value” or “Formatted Value” property on the component.

# **Steps to Expose**

1. Set the Value property to an initial value using the expression binding “now(0)”
2. Select a new value using the component  
– New value will be shown in the value property but not updated in the component’s text  
– Formatted value doesn’t change, but I added a property binding with an expression transform to update it with the formatted value.

# **Relevant Information**

- Ignition version 8.0.10-rc1
- Google Chrome

I think I am seeing the issue you are describing, but just to be sure you are talking about the DateTime Input component not the DateTime Picker component yeah?  
I will create a ticket internally to get this fixed.

Yes, sorry about that. I am referring to the DateTime Input component that uses a popup calendar.

I’ll edit my initial post to reflect that.

No problem, I wrote up a ticket to get this fixed in a future version. Sadly I don’t really have a workaround. I did try to set it via the components onStartup() event script but ended up with the same issue.

This is a major issue as it breaks a feature that was working. Do we have a work around in the meantime?
