DateTime Picker

It would save a lot of scripting and custom parameters if the default time in the dateTime picker was a configurable property for the component

You should be able to do it with a simple binding on the value property. Where is the date coming from?

I want it to be null (blank) until the user selects a date. The issue is that when they click the picker and click a date, it defaults to midnight of the selected day, then, if they want a time other than midnight, they need to click the time picker or click/type…whatever it is. Ideally, when the component is clicked, and a day selected, the default time should be configurable as a property.

I was able to force a default time in other than midnight when a day is clicked in the calendar, but it took some scripting and some custom properties to achieve this.

I think my only solution would be to set the DateTime pickerType : date to hide the time picker. Then overlay a DateTime Input component on the empty area and set its pickerType : time. I don't think it improves the situation for you though.

Or make the default time on the component a configurable property

You keep saying that like IA can wave a wand to make it happen. It's a good idea. It belongs on the ideas site so people can vote for it. If enough people vote for it, it'll get evaluated, and maybe scheduled. Problems that have work-arounds are low-priority, so it might be a couple years.

Use the suggested workaround in the meantime.

(Your idea, Cory, so you get to make the formal feature request on the ideas site.)

I apologize for putting this in the wrong place. What is the correct means for presenting this improvement?
