Is there any setting for clearing the selection and empty the input? Something similar to the selection of the dropdown and next to the drop icon has an `x` to clear the selection?

I just ran into this situation yesterday and developed a work around. I put the date picker component and an icon component in a flex container. There is a script on the icon's OnClick event to set the date to None. See script below:

```python
self.getSibling("DateTimeInput").props.value = None

```

Hopefully that helps!
